FAQs
Are the Clarks Originals Wallabees suitable for wet weather?
Due to the suede material, the Wallabees are not ideal for wet weather. Suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's recommended to wear them in dry conditions or use a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede.
How do I maintain the 'Pink Interest' suede color?
To maintain the color and condition of the suede, regularly brush it with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. Use a suede eraser for minor marks. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent fading and staining.
What is the benefit of the natural pebble crepe sole?
The natural pebble crepe sole provides a unique, comfortable cushioning and a distinctive grip. It's a heritage feature that contributes to the shoe's iconic status and provides a more natural feel underfoot compared to rigid soles.
How does the sizing of the Wallabee compare to other shoes?
Clarks Originals Wallabees generally fit true to size for most people. However, suede can stretch slightly over time. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size down for a snugger fit, especially if you prefer wearing thinner socks.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, many people wear Wallabees without socks. The natural crepe sole is relatively breathable. However, wearing socks can help absorb moisture and prevent odor, especially during longer wear periods.
What does 'bespoke fobs' mean in the description?
'Bespoke fobs' refers to the decorative tags or charms often attached to the laces of Clarks Originals shoes. These are unique details that signify the brand's heritage and add a distinctive styling element.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Gently use a suede brush or eraser. For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner specializing in suede.
Crepe sole is excessively dirty.
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow the shoes to break in gradually. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thin socks can also help.
Color transfer from suede.
This is more common with new or darker suede. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing and consider using a suede protector. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until color transfer is no longer an issue.
