FAQs

How do I clean the grey suede material?

Use a soft suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first and avoid using water.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Wallabee generally has a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it might be worth trying them on first or checking reviews specific to width recommendations for this model.

How should I store my Wallabees?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect the suede.

What is the expected lifespan of the crepe sole?

The lifespan of the crepe sole depends on usage frequency and walking surfaces. With moderate wear, it provides good durability, but heavy use on abrasive surfaces may lead to wear over time.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What kind of socks are best with these shoes?

Thin to medium-weight socks are generally best to maintain comfort and fit. You can opt for no-show socks for a cleaner look or regular crew socks depending on your preference and the outfit.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The Clarks Originals Wallabee is available in a variety of colors. You can check the product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.

Shoes feel too tight

Suede can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortably tight, consider a shoe stretcher or professional advice.

Crepe sole is discolored

Crepe soles can naturally yellow over time, especially with exposure to light. Cleaning with a damp cloth can help remove surface grime that contributes to discoloration.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the affected area. Applying a suede protector can help prevent future spotting.
