Full details
The Clarks Originals Wallabee Yukoner is designed for adult males seeking a durable and comfortable shoe for winter conditions. Its key benefit lies in its winter-ready evolution of the classic Wallabee, featuring a leather upper and an XL EXTRALIGHT® heeled sole for enhanced stability and comfort.

FAQs
What makes the Wallabee Yukoner different from the classic Wallabee?
The Wallabee Yukoner is a winter-ready version featuring a more robust XL EXTRALIGHT® heeled sole for enhanced comfort and stability in colder conditions, along with a durable leather upper. It retains the iconic silhouette and design elements.
Is this shoe waterproof?
The leather upper offers some resistance to moisture, but the shoe is not fully waterproof. For better protection in wet conditions, consider using a leather waterproofing spray.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains or deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What type of socks are recommended?
Given the winter focus, thicker wool or thermal socks would complement the comfort and warmth provided by the shoe's construction.
Can I wear these in snow?
The shoes are designed for general winter wear and improved stability. They are not specialized snow boots and may require caution in deep snow or icy conditions.
What does 'XL EXTRALIGHT®' mean for the sole?
XL EXTRALIGHT® refers to a specific material used in the sole, known for being exceptionally lightweight, flexible, and durable, contributing to overall comfort and shock absorption.
Are the included FOBs removable?
Yes, the Clarks Originals and Wallabee FOBs are typically decorative attachments that can be removed if desired.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Laces are difficult to tie evenly
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. Try lacing them from the bottom up, ensuring equal tension on both sides at each stage.
Reduced grip on very smooth surfaces
While the crepe-effect rubber provides good grip, very slick surfaces may require a slower pace. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Wallabee Yukoner comes ready to wear. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred comfort level. The shoe is designed for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: This model is best suited for adult males. It pairs well with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, and warmer trousers. While designed for winter, it is not a heavy-duty winter boot and should be used with appropriate caution in severe ice or snow.
Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking, especially after exposure to moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against water and stains.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
