Clarks Wallabee RB - Olive Suede - Size 10.5

The Wallabee RB is designed for winter wear with enhanced water resistance due to the gum sole, but the suede uppers are not fully waterproof. Using a suede protector spray is recommended for better water repellency.

It is recommended to refer to the Clarks sizing chart for accurate measurements. Many users find the Wallabee fit true to size, but personal preference for tightness can vary.

The Wallabee RB is a winter-specific version featuring a more robust 'commando' gum sole for improved traction and stability, along with suede uppers designed for colder conditions. The classic Wallabee typically has a crepe sole and is less focused on winter performance.

While the gum sole offers better grip in wet conditions, it's best to avoid wearing suede shoes in heavy rain to prevent significant staining and damage to the material. The shoe is more suited for light rain, frost, and cool temperatures.

The sole is a combination of a natural pebble crepe base with a tonal rubber gum sole tooling for enhanced grip and durability.

Use a dry suede brush for general cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always protect the suede with a protector spray and avoid getting the shoes excessively wet.

The FOBS (often small decorative tags or charms) are celebratory elements that signify the Clarks Originals and Wallabee™ heritage. They do not typically have a functional purpose beyond aesthetic and branding.

Use a clean, dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

Replace with new flat tonal or fleck laces. Ensure the replacement laces are of a similar material and length for the best fit.

While designed for enhanced traction, extremely icy conditions can still be challenging. Ensure the sole is clean. If wear is significant, consider consulting a cobbler about sole refurbishment.
