Love & Care
Protect your investment
Like many materials found in footwear and apparel, crepe rubber soles can be damaged by exposure to concentrated heat or extreme temperatures. Do not leave your shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods or in closed cars on hot days. If your shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly, away from direct heat.
Clean
Simply clean your suede Clarks Originals with a clean damp cloth, this especially important to do if they've been exposed to salty slush during winter. Allow to dry.
For stains and spots, a crepe brush easily removes stains while preserving the nep of the suede. If needed for tougher stains, use a leather cleaner.
Protect
Add extra protection to preserve your footwear. Saphir's Super Invulner spray waterproofs the most delicate leathers, and offers superior protection against water, stains and grease. This will protect your shoes from water and dirt.
Fit guide
Clarks Originals fit true to size on most customers, but some prefer to size Wallabees down half a size. Your feet should be able to move freely without your toes hitting the edge of the footbed.
