FAQs

How do I clean the black suede?

Regularly use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser works well. Always apply a suede protector before initial wear and reapply periodically.

Can I wear these boots in the rain?

While a suede protector offers some resistance, Wallabee Boots are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the suede and potentially the crepe sole.

What is a crepe sole?

A crepe sole is made from layers of natural rubber, known for its softness, flexibility, and excellent cushioning properties. It provides a distinctive look and comfortable feel.

How should I store my Wallabee Boots?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases and odors.

Is the sizing true to size?

Clarks Originals typically uses UK sizing. The Wallabee Boot is generally considered true to size, but individual fit preferences may vary. If unsure, consult a sizing guide.

Are Wallabee Boots comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the moccasin construction and natural crepe sole are designed to provide significant comfort and cushioning, making them suitable for extended wear once broken in.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective.

Crepe sole feels sticky or attracts debris

Clean the crepe sole with a dedicated crepe brush or a damp cloth. Avoid walking on extremely hot asphalt or freshly tarred surfaces, which can exacerbate stickiness.

Boots feel stiff initially

The Wallabee Boot's moccasin construction allows it to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow for a comfortable break-in period.

Water spots on suede

If your boots get wet, allow them to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently raise the nap and remove any water marks. Prevention with a protector is key.

Care Instructions

Given the premium suede material, proper care is crucial to maintain the appearance and longevity of your Wallabee Boots.

  1. Water and Stain Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray. Reapply periodically as directed by the product manufacturer.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the mark, then brush the area with a suede brush.
  4. Deep Cleaning (Rarely Needed): For tougher stains, a professional suede cleaner or a specialized suede cleaning solution may be used, always following product instructions carefully and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can attract dirt and become sticky. Use a dedicated crepe cleaning brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  6. Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  7. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
