FAQs
What makes the Wallabee Yukon 'winter-ready'?
The Wallabee Yukon is winter-ready due to its durable leather uppers offering protection and the XL EXTRALIGHT® heeled sole designed for improved comfort and stability in winter conditions.
How does the Wallabee Yukon differ from the classic Wallabee?
The Yukon is an evolution featuring a more robust leather upper, an XL EXTRALIGHT® heeled sole for winter conditions, and a moulded heel grip with a crepe effect, while retaining the iconic Wallabee silhouette.
What material is the shoe made of?
The shoe features leather uppers for a textured and durable finish.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush for surface dirt and a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner for tougher marks. Always test cleaners on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can these shoes be worn in heavy rain?
The leather offers some protection, but for heavy rain, consider using a dedicated leather waterproofing spray to enhance their resistance to moisture.
What is the purpose of the two Originals FOBs?
The two exclusive FOBs represent the Clarks Originals and Wallabee brands, serving as authentic design details.
Is the sole designed for slippery surfaces?
The XL EXTRALIGHT® sole and moulded heel grip are designed for enhanced comfort and stability in winter conditions, offering better traction than a standard sole, but caution is still advised on extremely slick surfaces.
What is the fit like?
The Wallabee Yukon is designed for men's adult sizes. It is recommended to check sizing guides and consider trying them on for the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel stiff or difficult to adjust
Ensure laces are not excessively dirty or wet. If they are new, they may loosen with wear. You can also condition the laces with a leather conditioner if they are leather.
Leather appears dry or shows minor cracks
Apply a quality leather conditioner to the affected areas. This will help to rehydrate the leather. For significant cracking, consult a professional cobbler.
Sole feels less grippy on wet surfaces
Check the sole for embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. While designed for stability, extreme conditions may still require caution. Ensure you are not walking on excessively slick surfaces.
Internal comfort is not as expected
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The heat-embossed sock liner may take a short period to conform to your foot. Try wearing the shoes for short periods initially.
