Customer Reviews Clarks Wallabee

First of all, the style of this shoe is great, a true classic. It seems well made, with good quality materials. My only pet peeve is the weight of theses shoes. If you walk a lot like me, they are tiresome due to their weight. Zappos shows their weight in size 7.5 2 1 lb 2 oz, which can be a bit misleading. I wear size 11, so they are significantly heavier.

Decent shoes! I love the Wallabee boots and this was the first time I bought the shoes. Not as comfortable, they cut into the ankle some and leave a mark. I will buy the boots again but this will be my only pair of the shoes.

I need to return these for a larger size, possibly a different style

The heel cuts my ankles, even after months of wear. It never softened as I expected it would. They look cute, but they destroy my feet.

I wanted to love the Wallabee Clark because they're quite stylish. Unfortunately, I find them to be extremely uncomfortable for several reasons. Initially, the bounciness of the gummy sole feels great but it quickly leads to foot soreness. It's similar to sleeping of super-soft mattress: you think you're comfortable until you wake up the next morning sore all over from lack of firmness and support. Second, these shoes are extremely heavy. It's like walking around with weights on your feet. After wearing them for half a day my legs are fatigued and I feel like I want to lie down and take a nap. For me the real test of a great shoe is when you can forget you have them on. I'm always aware of the Wallabee and at the end of the day I can't wait to take them off. Also, the interior of the shoe bleeds dye onto your socks. Not good. Finally, the Wallabee offers no insulation. On cold days you can feel the wind through the leather as if you were walking barefoot. Certainly not acceptable in the city of Chicago. I tried for several weeks to make these shoes work but finally gave up and donated them to the Salvation Army. Hopefully their next owner will have better luck.

Clark’s Wallabee design and build has changed with cheaper quality materials and design removing the feel of a reliable shoe. I have returned two pairs to Zappos because of QC issues (not Zappos fault). I also ordered two pairs from Clark’s website and kept one pair. So, from four orders I kept one. I only kept one pair to have one Wallabee in my rotation. After buying this shoe since the 90s I decided to break up with this changing company since it does not remain true to the original design and the quality and craftsmanship suffers. The end.
