FAQs
How do I clean the cloud grey suede?
Use a suede brush for regular maintenance. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner, test on an inconspicuous area first, and follow the product's instructions. Always allow suede to air dry naturally.
What is the best way to care for the natural crepe sole?
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. Crepe soles can be sensitive to certain substances, so gentle cleaning is recommended.
Are these boots waterproof?
The suede material is not inherently waterproof. Applying a quality suede protector spray can offer water resistance, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
How should I store my Wallabee Boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Do the Wallabee Boots run true to size?
Generally, Clarks Originals Wallabee Boots are considered to run true to size. However, personal fit can vary. It is recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these boots in heavy wet conditions. The suede and natural crepe sole are not designed for prolonged exposure to moisture and can be damaged or stained.
What do the fobs on the boots signify?
The fobs are decorative elements and part of the Clarks Originals branding. They typically include the Clarks Originals logo, 'WALLABEES,' and sometimes a unique motif like a Daisy, signifying the heritage and style of the boot.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Crepe sole looks discolored or has picked up debris
Wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth. For embedded dirt, use a stiff brush gently. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Boots feel slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house with appropriate socks to allow them to mold to your foot. Consider using a shoe tree to help maintain shape and potentially aid in stretching.
Water marks on suede
Allow the boots to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Apply a suede protector spray to help prevent future water spots.
