Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Clarks Originals Wallabee shoes require no special setup. Simply unbox them, untie the laces, put them on, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. The signature fob is typically attached to one of the laces; ensure it is positioned comfortably.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for adult male feet, specifically in UK size 6. While designed for daily wear, their suede material makes them best suited for dry conditions and mild weather.
Product Care
Caring for your suede Wallabees is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity.
- Water Protection: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Apply a water and stain protector spray specifically designed for suede before the first wear and reapply periodically. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
- Cleaning: For dust and light dirt, use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your shoes 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 sources.
- Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Professional Care: For deep stains or significant damage, consider taking your shoes to a professional shoe cleaner or cobbler specialized in suede.
