FAQs

Are Clarks Originals Wallabees waterproof?

The Wallabee is made from suede and natural crepe, neither of which are inherently waterproof. While suede protectors can offer some water resistance, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.

How do I break in my Wallabees?

Wallabees are typically comfortable from the start due to their soft suede and flexible sole. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet.

Can I wear Wallabees in the summer?

Yes, Wallabees are suitable for summer wear. Their natural materials allow for some breathability, making them a comfortable choice for warmer weather when paired with appropriate attire.

What is the best way to clean black suede?

For black suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a cleaner specifically designed for dark suede is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Do Wallabees run true to size?

Generally, Clarks Originals Wallabees are considered to run true to size for most people. However, individual fit can vary, and it's always advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible.

How often should I reapply suede protector?

It is recommended to reapply suede protector every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to moisture or heavy wear, to maintain their protective qualities.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.

Crepe sole looks dirty or discolored

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For embedded dirt, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Laces are frayed or worn

Replace the waxy laces with similar Clarks Originals laces or any suitable alternative. Ensure they are tied securely.

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Suede can stretch slightly with wear. If still uncomfortable, consider consulting sizing guides or a shoe professional.
