Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Simply lace up your Wallabees. The waxy laces ensure a snug fit. A minor break-in period may be necessary for the suede to fully conform to your foot.
Compatibility
These Wallabee shoes are designed for adults and follow standard UK sizing (UK 6 in this specific variant). They offer a comfortable fit for most foot types. Check the Clarks Originals sizing guide if you are unsure about your size.
Care Instructions
- Suede Cleaning: Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Water Exposure: Avoid wearing Wallabees in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can attract dust and small debris. Gently clean with a damp cloth or a soft eraser if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the sole's texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use.
