FAQs

How do I clean the leather upper of my Wallabees?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, apply a suitable leather cleaner and then a leather conditioner or cream, following the product's specific instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the best way to clean the natural crepe sole?

The most effective method is to use a dedicated crepe brush or crepe eraser. Gently rub the tool across the sole to lift dirt, dust, and any sticky residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or oil-based cleaners as they can damage the unique texture of the crepe.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather conditions?

While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, the natural crepe sole can become slippery when wet and may absorb water. It is generally best to avoid wearing your Wallabees in heavy rain or deep puddles to maintain their condition and safety.

How should I store my Wallabees when not in use?

Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, prevent creasing, and absorb any internal moisture, prolonging their life.

What kind of fit can I expect from the Wallabee?

Clarks Originals Wallabees are known for a comfortable, somewhat roomy fit. Some wearers find them to run slightly larger than their usual size, while others prefer their standard size. It's often recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a size guide.

Can I use a general shoe protector spray on my Wallabees?

For the leather upper, you can use a water and stain protector specifically designed for smooth leather, ensuring it's breathable. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first, as some sprays can alter the leather's appearance. Avoid spraying the natural crepe sole.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper appears dull, dry, or shows minor scuffs.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner or cream using a clean, soft cloth. Gently rub in circular motions, then buff to a subtle sheen. This will moisturize and protect the leather.

Natural crepe sole looks dirty, sticky, or has picked up debris.

Use a specialized crepe brush or crepe eraser (available at shoe care stores) to gently rub across the affected areas. This tool is designed to lift dirt and rejuvenate the sole's texture. For very stubborn marks, a minimal amount of mild soap and water can be carefully applied with a cloth, then immediately blotted dry.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear.

Wallabees, especially new leather ones, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) around the house for the first few days. The premium leather will gradually soften and conform to the unique shape of your feet, improving comfort over time.

Waxy laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a proper knot. For extra security, try double-knotting the laces. If the issue persists, the laces may have become too smooth; consider replacing them with new waxy laces of the same style, which offer better grip.

Care

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the appearance and longevity of your leather Wallabees and their unique crepe soles.

Leather Upper Care

  1. Clean Regularly: Wipe down the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust after each wear.
  2. Deep Clean (as needed): For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wipe the shoe in circular motions. Follow product instructions carefully.
  3. Condition: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few weeks or months, depending on wear. This helps to moisturize the leather, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its suppleness. Allow it to soak in before buffing gently with a clean cloth.
  4. Protect: Consider using a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents, abrasive cleaners, or alcohol-based products, as these can damage the leather.

Natural Crepe Sole Care

  1. Remove Dirt & Debris: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and small particles. Use a dedicated crepe brush or crepe eraser to gently rub off dirt, dust, and sticky residue. This tool is designed to lift impurities without damaging the sole.
  2. Stubborn Marks: For more stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap (like saddle soap) mixed with water can be carefully applied with a soft brush, then immediately blotted dry with a clean cloth. Avoid saturating the sole.
  3. Avoid Oils & Solvents: Do not use oil-based products or strong solvents on the crepe sole, as these can alter its texture and stickiness.

General Care

  • Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Drying Wet Shoes: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can damage the leather and sole.
