FAQs

What is the best way to clean the suede on my Wallabee Boots?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner applied according to its instructions is recommended. Always allow to air dry and then brush the nap.

How do I maintain the natural crepe sole?

The crepe sole can be cleaned by gently rubbing it with a dedicated crepe cleaning rubber or a clean piece of crepe rubber. A soft brush or damp cloth can also remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these boots suitable for wet weather?

Due to the suede material and natural crepe sole, Wallabee Boots are not ideal for heavy rain or very wet conditions. Suede can stain and the crepe sole may become slippery or attract excessive dirt when wet. Always apply a suede protector for light moisture resistance.

Do I need to break in my Wallabee Boots?

While generally comfortable, the premium suede and new sole may feel a little stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to allow the materials to conform to your feet for optimal comfort.

What are the fobs for?

The two Clarks Originals / Wallabee fobs are a signature decorative detail, signifying the heritage and authenticity of your boots. They are part of the classic Wallabee design.

Can I wear these boots formally?

The Wallabee Boot excels in smart-casual settings and can be paired with tailored trousers for a relaxed formal look. However, they are generally not considered suitable for strictly formal events.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be applied, followed by brushing.

Crepe sole is attracting excessive dirt and appears dark.

Gently rub the sole with a specialized crepe cleaning rubber or a clean piece of crepe rubber to lift off embedded dirt. A damp cloth can be used for surface grime, but avoid harsh chemicals.

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The premium suede will naturally soften and mold to your feet over time. Wear them for shorter periods initially to gradually break them in. Ensure lacing is adjusted for comfort, not too tight.

Boots got wet and look stained.

Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap and apply a suede protector.

Essential Care for Longevity

Caring for your Wallabee Boots, especially their suede upper and crepe sole, is crucial for maintaining their appearance and extending their life.

Suede Upper Care

  1. Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush away dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a suede eraser. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner (following product instructions) may be necessary.
  4. Drying: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Crepe Sole Care

  1. Cleaning: The natural rubber pebble crepe sole is prone to attracting dirt. Gently clean with a soft brush (like a toothbrush) or a damp cloth for light surface dirt. For deeper stains, a specialized crepe sole cleaner or a clean piece of crepe rubber can be used to rub off marks.
  2. Avoid Extremes: Keep the soles away from extreme heat (which can make them tacky) and extreme cold (which can make them brittle).

Following these care steps will ensure your Wallabee Boots remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
