FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee's soft suede upper is designed to adapt to the foot shape, offering a comfortable fit for many. However, they are not specifically designed for wide feet and may feel snug if you typically require wide-fitting shoes.
How do I clean the "Pink Interest" suede?
Use a specialized suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first and avoid washing with water.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of natural pebble crepe, known for its waxy grip and flexibility.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the material and cause staining.
How does the 'Pink Interest' color hold up over time?
With proper care and protection, the vibrant pink color can be maintained. However, like all suede, it is susceptible to fading or discoloration if exposed to excessive sunlight or abrasive elements.
What is the heritage of the Wallabee shoe?
The Wallabee has been a staple since its debut in 1968 and has been adopted by various subcultures worldwide. Its design is rooted in Clarks' British heritage.
Do these shoes come with any accessories?
The shoes feature bespoke fobs as a decorative element, signaling Somerset heritage.
Troubleshooting
Suede is stained or dirty
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Consider professional cleaning for stubborn stains.
Crepe sole feels sticky or is dirty
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the suede to mold to your feet. Consider using a shoe tree to help maintain shape.
