FAQs
What makes the Wallabee's leather unique?
The upper is constructed from premium brush-off leather, which is designed to reveal multiple layers of color underneath when scuffed or buffed, creating a unique patina over time.
How should I clean the natural crepe sole?
Clean the crepe sole with a dedicated crepe rubber cleaner or a stiff brush. Gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the sole in water or using abrasive cleaners.
Is the Wallabee suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee has a relatively classic fit. While it's not specifically designed for wide feet, the leather will mold to your foot shape over time. For very wide feet, trying them on in person is recommended.
How do I care for the brush-off leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. Use a leather conditioner or cleaner specifically designed for brush-off leather to maintain its appearance and unique color-revealing properties. Avoid excessive brushing that could prematurely wear away the top color layer.
What is the history of the Wallabee?
The Clarks Originals Wallabee was first released in 1968 and quickly became a style icon, adopted by various global subcultures for its distinctive design and comfort.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, natural crepe soles are not ideal for very wet conditions and can absorb moisture. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears dirty or discolored.
Use a dedicated crepe rubber cleaner or a firm brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the sole's appearance. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
Leather upper feels stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Scuff marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs on brush-off leather, try buffing the area gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a specific brush-off leather cleaner to help blend the color.
Laces need replacing.
Replace with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
