FAQs
How do I properly clean the black suede?
Regularly brush with a suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions, always testing first on an inconspicuous area.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the suede material is not inherently waterproof. We highly recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing and reapplying periodically to enhance water resistance.
What is the best way to care for the crepe sole?
The natural crepe sole can attract dirt. Gently wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For sticky residue or stubborn grime, a specialized crepe sole cleaner can be used. Avoid walking on very oily or tarred surfaces.
What size Wallabee Boot should I get?
Clarks Originals typically run true to UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If possible, trying them on is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
Can I wear these boots in winter?
Yes, but with caution. While suitable for cooler weather, suede is vulnerable to snow, slush, and salt, which can cause stains and damage. Ensure proper waterproofing and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh winter conditions.
How can I prevent creasing in the suede?
Using shoe trees when storing your boots can help maintain their shape and minimize creasing. Regular conditioning with a suede conditioner (after cleaning) can also keep the leather supple and less prone to deep creases.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has visible stains/scuffs.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For scuffs, gently rub with a suede eraser. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Crepe sole is dirty or feels sticky.
Gently rub the sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stickiness or stubborn grime, use a specialized crepe sole cleaner or a cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol, avoiding contact with the suede.
Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Suede boots, especially with a structured design, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the material to mold to your feet.
Boots got wet and appear discolored.
Do not dry with direct heat. Stuff with unprinted paper and allow to air dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and color. Reapply suede protector.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Black Suede Wallabee Boots maintain their premium look and extend their life, follow these care guidelines:
- Water & Stain Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to create a barrier against moisture and stains. Reapply periodically as per the product's instructions, typically every few months depending on wear.
- Regular Cleaning: For daily maintenance, use a suede brush (with nylon or brass bristles) to gently brush away dirt, dust, and restore the nap. Always brush in one direction. For scuffs and light stains, use a suede eraser to rub them away. For deeper stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following its specific instructions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and become sticky. Gently rub the sole with a soft, damp cloth or a specialized crepe sole cleaner to remove surface dirt and stickiness. Avoid walking on excessively oily or tarred surfaces, as these can permanently stain the crepe. For stubborn grime, a light application of rubbing alcohol on a cloth can help, but avoid contact with the suede upper.
- Drying: If your boots get wet, gently pat them dry with a clean cloth. Stuff them with paper (unprinted newsprint or paper towels work best to avoid ink transfer) to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape. Using shoe trees can also help prevent creasing and absorb moisture.
