Product Information
Full details
The Clarks Originals Wallabee Lite is a refined evolution of the iconic 1968 moc toe shoe, tailored for women seeking superior daily comfort without sacrificing heritage style. This lightweight iteration is perfect for those who spend long hours on their feet and desire a shoe that feels broken-in from day one, though the soft suede upper requires careful maintenance to preserve its vibrant red finish against harsh environmental conditions.

FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive components of the shoe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The moc toe design generally offers a accommodating fit, but as they are a standard width, those with exceptionally wide feet may prefer to test them with thin socks first.
How do I swap the laces?
Simply unthread the current laces through the eyelets and guide the desired set through using a lace aglet or small tool if needed.
What should I do if the suede gets wet?
Stuff the shoes with dry paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry naturally away from radiators or heat sources.
Is the foam footbed replaceable?
Yes, the footbed is removable. You can replace it with your own custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels slightly loose or tight.
Adjust the lacing tension or swap between the included flat and flecked laces to change the volume of the shoe closure.
Suede appears matted or shiny.
Use a suede brush in a back-and-forth motion to lift the nap and restore the soft texture of the material.
Footbed feels less supportive after long-term wear.
Remove the foam footbed and check for compression; replace with a generic comfort insert if the foam has lost its original bounce.

Care Instructions
