Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears dirty or discolored quickly
The natural crepe sole easily picks up dirt. Use a specialized crepe sole brush or a rubber eraser to gently clean the sole. Avoid harsh liquids.
Leather looks dry or has minor scuffs
Clean the leather upper with a soft brush, then apply a suitable leather conditioner. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth and a small amount of conditioner or beeswax leather balm.
Boots feel stiff initially
While made from butter-soft leather, a short break-in period might be needed. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet.
Water stains on leather
If not waterproofed, water can leave marks. Allow the boots to air dry completely, then gently clean and condition the leather. Consider applying a waterproofing spray for future protection.
Laces fraying or worn out
Replacement flat laces are readily available from footwear retailers. Ensure they are of similar length and material for the best look and durability.
FAQs
Are Wallabee Boots true to size?
Clarks Originals Wallabee Boots generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit.
How do I protect my Wallabee Boots from water?
To protect your leather Wallabee Boots, apply a high-quality leather protector or waterproofing spray designed for beeswax or smooth leather before initial wear and periodically thereafter. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear Wallabee Boots in the rain?
While the leather offers some resistance, Wallabee Boots are not fully waterproof. Heavy rain or standing water can damage the leather and stain the crepe sole. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How often should I clean the crepe sole?
The frequency depends on wear. If you notice significant dirt or discoloration, clean it promptly. Regular light cleaning after a few wears will help maintain its appearance.
What is the best way to store Wallabee Boots?
Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees will help absorb moisture and maintain the boot's original shape, preventing creasing.

Cons

- Weather Sensitivity: Leather, especially soft varieties, can be sensitive to heavy rain or snow, potentially requiring waterproofing.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Wallabee Boots:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
- Cleaning the Crepe Sole:
- The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and debris. Use a specialized crepe sole brush or a firm bristle brush to gently rub off dirt.
- For stubborn marks, a rubber eraser (like a standard pencil eraser) can be effective. Rub gently to lift the dirt.
- Avoid water-based cleaning agents as they can stain or degrade the natural crepe.
- Protection:
- Apply a suitable leather protector or waterproofing spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain the boot's shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid:
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Do not expose to extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight for drying.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water or harsh chemicals.
For the best results, use products specifically designed for beeswax leather.
