Customer Reviews Clarks Wallabee

I used to wear Wallabees in the 80s and never had a fit problem, but now I find that my heel slips around. I tried going down a half size and wearing thick socks and that still didn’t solve the problem. I wish these shoes had a narrow width.

So very comfy! Because the back of the shoe doesn't come up very far, my heel tended to slide out a bit at first. But with a pair of heavier socks, the shoes are perfect.

Zappos is the best! This is the 2nd pair of Walabees I've ordered from here, I ordered them on Monday and had them Wednesday, same week! Excellent products,fast and free delivery!

Great shoe - very comfortable and versatile. Well-made, too. This shoe is roomy, but I don’t regret ordering my normal size – it’s not so big that it’s uncomfortable or causing blisters. (I wear size 11.) I love the retro look of this shoe and I much prefer the suede to the leather version.

I LOVE THESE SHOES! I've had my shoes for about 3 years now and for the first year I didn't really wear them because I bought them too big but then my feet grew a bit and I wore them. they are the most comfortable shoes I own. I wear them almost every day and will soon need to buy a new pair! I would definitely recommend these to everyone.

Can stains be removed? I got a pair of Wallabees for Christmas and absolutely love them! But I accidentally got some lotion on one and it left a mark...any ways to remove it?

These are very comfortable except for the fold in the inside side of the tongue. I have tried thicker socks and layers of moleskin, but the thick crease still bruises the top of my foot. Does anyone have a fix? I'm ready to take a pair of scissors to them....

I know some people think Wallabees are kind of ugly, but I absolutely love them. I have three pair. They are super comfortable. They run true to size. I am a 7.5 and that is what I always wear in this shoe. Recently ordered the maroon color and they are super cute. Just maroon enough to be fun, but not too crazy.

I'm obsessed with these! My normal size in just about every shoe is a 6. After reading reviews I decided to order a half size down, which was a mistake. They were too little. So I ordered my normal size, a 6, and they fit great! No slipping on my heel at all. If you're not sure what size to order just go with your normal size.

On my second pair of these now after wearing them everyday for a year. A great cross between fabulous comfort and classic style for the tasteful and subtle dresser. Super practical yet not ugly for someone who needs to look good and be active frequently. In my line of work, I am on my feet for 8-12 hours a day, and I've never come home with any feet or back pain. When you break them in, the leather literally molds to the shape of your foot, becoming uniquely your shoe, and yours alone. Quite enduring, considering how much I push them (biking a couple hours on them daily, taken a couple 3-5 mile runs with these on cement and dirt paths, walking a TON as everyone does in New York, standing for many hours during work, etc). The first thing to go (after half a year mind you) are the edges of the soft cheese sole, which are great for shock absorption especially on hard cement sidewalks, but less great if you tread on many sharp surfaces like gravel roads. Otherwise, best all around shoe I've encountered in a while.

I recently bought both the high top and low top Wallabees. I always have at least one pair to wear in the garden. They are very washable - set them out to dry in the sun and they're like new. Don't know what to say about style; they are what they are.

Love these shoes! I agree with some of the other reviews that the toe box is a bit narrow, but luckily with just a few wearings the shoes stretched out and are now really comfortable. Very happy with them.

A Plea for the Narrow-footed- I love Wallabees- so I bought a pair in black suede on sale last year- even though it was medium width only. I can lace it tightly on the instep but the looseness of the heel caused me to fall when I hit an uneven surface because my ankle was insecure. Will try to remedy with heel fillers but it would be so nice if Clark's could just manufacture a narrow Wallabee!

The crepe sole is pure joy BUT insole hurts horribly !!! It’s only half way through ( heel side )which causes a lump right at the bottom of the ball of your foot. Just standing in my kitchen for 10 minutes had my feet aching. Very sad because I wore these all the time back in the day, they lasted for years. I sent these back until they realize the insole needs to be full sized, I’ll buy again then

These shoes are comfortable but it took 4 weeks to break in. I like the style and color but wished it came in black. This is meant for narrow feet and it is great as a casual dress shoe.

I’ve worn wallabees for the last 20 years and they’ve always been my go-to fall/winter shoe. I currently own a beeswax pair that I purchased through zappos in 2012 and decided that it was time for a new pair. I was so disappointed when they came in the mail. Clarks has made some significant changes to the shoe and not for the better. Overall, the shoe just feels cheap now. They no longer have a removable foam insert. The insert is now sewn into the actual shoe and it does not go all the way to the toe, it stops about half way up. The leather does not feel as thick and even the shoelaces have been downgraded. As always, Zappos has amazing customer service and I returned the shoes with zero problems.

They are not what I was looking for, but close enough for rock and roll. The sole is thick enough to step on a stone and not get hurt. My toes have wiggle room, which is a huge plus.

I'm somewhere between an 11 and an 11.5, and an 11 in Wallabees feels perfect. There's just some slight slippage in the heel area, but not enough that would warrant going even a half-size down. They're super comfortable, and I feel like I'm a college kid back in the day with these on. The retro coolness of these shoes cannot be overstated. And they go with all but the dressiest looks. I bought the maple suede, and I'm looking forward to seeing how these break in over the summer.

This is really a cute shoe, but just too narrow for my foot. Wish it worked!!

They run really big, I am a 7.5 and I bought these to replace another pair that were 7's and grew as I wore them. I love these shoes, super comfortable.

I love these shoes. We have hardwood floors and I was having knee, hip, and lower back pain. By wearing these bouncy shoes it all went away. It's hard to find shoes that are real leather and have crepe soles. They aren't glamorous but look fine with slacks so I wear them shopping too. Great!

I just got my pair of the sand suede and love it! Very comfortable with or without socks. I am glad I followed the tip of ordering a slightly smaller size. I also like the little height. Thank you Zappos!

I have been ordering from Zappos for 3 years now. I have nothing but good things to say. The customer service is outstanding and the products are great. Twice I have had to return shoes to exchange the size. The new pair arrived the next day. They are always friendly and efficient.

I bought these shoes based on the reviews provided. They are spot on! My husband says they look like old lady shoes, but I love them! They are comfortable and true to fit. I bought the 7.5 and they were perfect.

I've been wearing my "beeswax leather" Wallabees 2-3 times a week for eight years. I've had them resoled three times. I keep them clean and conditioned with mink oil or the Clarks leather conditioning cream. They are just starting to be worn enough to consider replacing. I got a second pair in chocolate suede which are just as comfy and are not quite as sturdy. Which is to say: I've been wearing them for three years and they're starting to appear worn. These are my favorite shoes. If they ever stop making them, I'll riot.
