FAQs
Is the Boxbee Walla waterproof?
No, the shoe is made from premium suede, which is not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray.
How does the sizing compare to a traditional Wallabee?
The Boxbee Walla features a slightly more rounded, relaxed fit, but generally follows standard sizing. If you have worn Clarks Originals before, your usual size should be the starting point.
What is the difference between the sole on this and the classic Wallabee?
The Boxbee Walla uses a durable rubber cup sole with a crepe-inspired texture, whereas traditional Wallabees use a classic plantation crepe sole.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will damage the suede and the integrity of the rubber sole. Always clean by hand using appropriate suede care products.
Are the insoles removable?
The shoes feature a branded Clarks Originals sock liner that is designed to stay in place for optimal comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or worn
Use a suede eraser to gently lift the nap, followed by a suede brush to restore the texture.
Surface water stains appearing
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to gently buff the affected area.
Laces are fraying
The Boxbee Walla uses wide tonal laces; replace with similar width cotton laces to maintain the intended skate-inspired aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Boxbee Walla shoes in peak condition, always use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each wear. Given the delicate nature of premium suede, it is recommended to apply a suede-safe water repellent spray before your first use to guard against light rain and spills. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a dedicated suede cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or losing its color richness over time.
