Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Wallabees arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace, insert your foot, and lace them up to a comfortable tension. The waxy laces ensure a secure knot.
Compatibility
The Clarks Originals Wallabee is a highly versatile shoe:
- Style: Its clean lines and classic profile make it compatible with a broad range of styles, from casual streetwear to more tailored, smart-casual attire. It pairs well with denim, corduroy, linen, and wool fabrics.
- Footwear: Designed for adult males, the sizing is standard UK sizing. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.
Care Instructions
Proper care will preserve the premium materials and iconic look of your Wallabees for years to come.
- Leather Uppers: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for beeswax or smooth leather. Apply a protective spray to help repel water and stains.
- Natural Crepe Soles: The natural crepe sole is soft and can pick up dirt easily. Gently clean the soles with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the crepe. For stubborn marks, a special crepe sole cleaning block can be used. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent the crepe from becoming sticky or hardening.
- Laces: If the waxy laces become worn or dirty, they can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Replacement laces are available if needed.
- Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
