FAQs
How do I best protect my suede Wallabees from water and stains?
It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply it regularly, especially after cleaning or exposure to moisture. This creates a protective barrier.
Are Clarks Wallabees true to size?
Clarks Wallabees generally fit true to size. However, it's always best to refer to the official Clarks size guide and consider trying them on, as fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape.
Can I wear my Wallabees in the rain?
While a suede protector offers some resistance, it is not recommended to wear your suede Wallabees in heavy rain or very wet conditions. Excessive moisture can damage the suede and the natural crepe sole.
How do I clean the natural crepe sole if it gets dirty?
For cleaning the natural crepe sole, use a specific crepe sole cleaning block or a dedicated crepe eraser. Gently rub the affected areas to lift dirt and restore the sole's appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of the natural crepe sole?
The natural crepe sole provides exceptional comfort and flexibility, offering excellent cushioning with every step. Its unique texture also contributes to the iconic, distinctive look of the Wallabee.
How do I maintain the 'butter-soft' feel of the suede?
Regularly brush your suede Wallabees with a soft suede brush to maintain the nap and remove surface dust. If they become stiff from moisture, gentle brushing after drying can help restore softness. Applying a suede conditioner specifically designed for footwear can also help.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product directions. Always brush in one direction.
Crepe sole is sticky or has picked up debris.
Use a specific crepe sole cleaning block or a mild rubber eraser to rub away stickiness and embedded dirt. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the crepe.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
The suede upper will soften and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in comfortably. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
Laces appear worn or frayed.
The waxy laces are durable, but if they show significant wear, they can be easily replaced. Purchase replacement laces of similar material and length.
Suede is discolored or stained by water.
If the stain is fresh, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. For dried water stains, try re-wetting the entire area lightly with clean water using a spray bottle, then allow to air dry evenly. This can sometimes prevent distinct watermarks. For tough stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Care Instructions
Proper care of your suede Wallabees is crucial for their longevity and appearance:
- Water Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning Suede: For general dirt and dust, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Drying Wet Suede: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, sunlight), which can damage the suede.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and debris. Use a specific crepe sole cleaner or a gentle, adhesive-like rubber block designed for crepe soles to remove marks and stickiness. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use conventional shoe polish or harsh cleaning agents on suede, as they can permanently damage the material.
