FAQs

Are these shoes fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature an integrated GORE-TEX membrane designed to keep your feet completely dry in wet conditions.

How do they compare to standard Clarks Wallabees?

While they share the iconic look, the Gore-Tex version adds weatherproofing technology and a Vibram sole, making them much better for outdoor and winter use.

Do I need to size up for the Gore-Tex lining?

Most users find they fit true to size, but the leather and membrane structure may feel slightly more structured than suede models initially.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Wipe down with a damp cloth and use a leather cream to keep the material hydrated and protected.

Troubleshooting

Stiff feel during initial wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

Water repellency fading

Clean the leather with a damp cloth and apply a dedicated leather-safe waterproof spray.

Difficulty cleaning the Vibram sole

Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to remove debris from the deep treads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing capabilities
  • Superior traction on slippery urban surfaces
  • Breathable construction for all-day comfort
  • Timeless design suitable for multiple styles
  • Includes secondary laces for versatility

Cons

  • Leather requires break-in time
  • Stiffer feel than traditional suede models
  • Higher maintenance for premium leather upkeep

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best initial fit, wear these with medium-weight socks to allow the premium leather to contour to your foot shape during the first few days of wear. The minimalist lacing system can be adjusted for a snugger mid-foot fit if necessary. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the leather, use a high-quality leather conditioner and a water-repellent spray periodically. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the internal membrane adhesive to weaken over time.
