FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for heavy rain?
The Wallabee Yukon is crafted with leather and designed for winter conditions, offering some water resistance. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to water ingress. For very wet conditions, consider additional waterproofing treatments or alternative footwear.
How do I break in new Wallabee Yukons?
Wear them around the house for short periods initially. The natural leather will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your foot. Avoid prolonged wear on the first few days to prevent blisters.
What is the main difference between the Wallabee Yukon and the classic Wallabee?
The Wallabee Yukon features a more robust leather upper, an XL EXTRALIGHT® heeled sole for enhanced comfort and winter stability, and a moulded heel grip, all designed for a more utilitarian and winter-ready adaptation of the classic Wallabee silhouette.
Can I wear these shoes with socks?
Yes, these shoes are designed to be worn with socks. The heat-embossed sock liner provides comfort, and the shoe offers enough room for standard or thicker socks depending on your preference and the weather.
How do I clean the XL EXTRALIGHT® sole?
The sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is dried thoroughly afterwards.
What do the two FOBs represent?
The two exclusive FOBs are decorative charms that represent the Clarks Originals brand and the iconic Wallabee design, adding an authentic detail to the shoe.
Are these shoes unisex?
While marketed towards adult males, the classic Wallabee style is often worn by all genders. Fit and personal style are the primary considerations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Leather will mold to your foot over time, but if the initial fit is significantly off, consider trying a different size or width if available. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods.
Leather scuffs or marks easily
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to address minor scuffs. For more significant marks, a leather recoloring balm might be necessary. Applying a protective spray can help prevent future marks.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the XL EXTRALIGHT® sole offers enhanced grip, always exercise caution on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is free of debris. If slipping is a persistent issue, consult a cobbler about adding aftermarket sole grips.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a similar length and thickness. Tonal laces are recommended to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
