FAQs
What is the main material of the Clarks Originals Wallabee - Blue Stripe?
The uppers are made of bold, rich suede with a striped pattern.
What type of sole does this shoe have?
It features a natural pebble crepe sole, known for comfort and durability.
How do I clean suede shoes?
Use a suede brush for general dirt and a suede eraser or specialized cleaner for stains. Always test cleaning products in a hidden area first.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
These shoes are designed for casual and smart-casual occasions. They are not typically suitable for formal events.
How should I store my Wallabees?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and light.
What is the 'moccasin construction'?
It refers to the traditional method of constructing the shoe where the upper is stitched around a last, often featuring a hand-stitched apron seam for flexibility and comfort.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While suede can be treated with protectors, it's generally best to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a cleaner specifically designed for suede, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Crepe sole looks dull or dirty
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For more ingrained dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to mold to your feet. Suede and crepe will naturally soften with wear.
