I am a first time Wallabee wearer, and I have to say that for the first three weeks I was loving them. I received compliments and they were extremely comfortable, as advertised. However, after those three weeks, the sole of the left shoe slowly started to peel up. When I wear the shoe it rolls beneath my foot and is so uncomfortable that it basically deems the shoe unwearable for me. The worst part is that every time I take the shoe off it lifts even more. For 140 dollars, there is no excuse for such a defect after such a short period of wearing these shoes. Now, after 140 dollars spent and three weeks of wear, I cringe to even put these on my feet due to how uncomfortable it feels to have rolled up leather beneath my foot at every step.

I have owned a pair of wallabees for over 10 years. They are the best shoes I own. They have stood up to walking around a college campus and now being a teacher. They still look great and they still feel great. I ordered myself a pair of black suede wallabees for Christmas and was so terribly disappointed. The insert in the shoe only goes half way. The insert stops at the arch. The toe portion of the shoe is just raw material with stitching that you can feel in your toes. I am so upset that this product has gone to cheap manufacturing. I was greatly looking forward to a new pair of shoes to wear to work and now I have to shop elsewhere. I think Clark has shown how they feel about the customer. They are charging a premium price for an inferior product.

Ordered Beeswax Wallabees. Lost in trsnsit but they gave me 25% off second order attempt. They arrived fine but leather nothing like my past three pair. Lighter in color and slight suede looking finish. Returned them and bought the lower end version at Clarks outlet. At least the color looked the same. The lighter pair in photo were supposed to be the original beeswax design.

I have owned a pair of desert boots for almost 10 years., so I was familiar with the quality of Clark’s Originals products. For a long time I thought the Wallabee was charming but bordering on odd/ugly. I am so glad I finally bought a pair. I have worn them while on holiday for the past week, and they have been extremely comfortable for walking 20K steps per day in London. I love the look, too, especially the cola suede which seems to be very good quality. I’ll be adding more Wallabees to my closet in the future.
My first Wallabee purchase was in 1974, since then I always have several pairs on the go. Originally they were made in Ireland, but with moving to lower cost suppliers quality has suffered. The laces used to outlast the shoe while still looking brand new - I think they were nylon or similar. Now laces last some months. The inside of the tongue used to be finished leather, I think double layer. The final thing has been the loss of the full insole. The previous insole was a good quality comfortable insole, whereas we now have a molded heel & instep ½ length glued in poor substitute. This is a particular issue if you wear orthotics. The Wallabee boots fit differently at the ankle from the shoes, so are not a substitute for shoe aficionados. I keep buying because 1) ... MoreMy first Wallabee purchase was in 1974, since then I always have several pairs on the go.

This is the second time I’m buying this shoes and I’m experiencing the same problem.On the first pair, the suede broke around the sole.And on the second one, which I own now, it became loose.Plus, the sole loses colour and it becomes yellow.Well… I’m done with Clarks.I must say, the prices are way too high for the quality you’re getting.
Unfortunately, the shoes run very big and there's no effort on Clark's part to warn you of that. So after receiving them and wearing them out the first day, I had bleeding blisters 300 metres into the walk, and after some research I discovered people routinely order a full or half size down, so no matter what the shoes weren't going to work for me.I had worn them out, rendering them ineligible for return, and now I was out $250 for ordering my shoes in the correct size. I can't help but feel a bit cheated and frustrated, as I refuse to believe Clarks doesn't know this and could easily add some warning for customers.
I got my first pair late winter of 2017 - Beeswax low cut in an 11, made in China. Good fit, soul separates from leather upper around the edges in a few spots. Hasn't lifted very far in yet. Told it was due to the stiffness of the beeswax leather. Maybe so, but I still don't think they should separate at all.I got my 2nd pair--this time a suede maple high top boot--in late spring of 2017, made in china. Upon the recommendation of the sales clerk at the local Clarks store, I bought size 10.5, since, I was told, they tend to run a 1/2 size large. Verdict? Compared to the beeswax, slightly tighter through toes, but still comfortable, and they have stretched and conformed to my feet like a ball glove does.My 3rd pair - blue suede boot, made in Vietnam.

Compared to the beeswax, slightly tighter through toes, but still comfortable, and they have stretched and conformed to my feet like a ball glove does.My 3rd pair - blue suede boot, made in Vietnam. Ordered a size 11, having heard that the newer ones were running smaller than before. It was good that I did, because these 11s are identical to my chinese-made 10.5 in length, while it felt a bit more snug through the toes. Purchased early 2018.My 4th pair - Brown suede boot. Made in Vietnam. Ordered size 11.5, based on the blue pair, wanting a little more space for the toes. It worked. Although, placing these boots sole-to-sole against my original, chinese-made beeswax pair (size 11), the latter are still just a tad longer and wider through the ball of the foot.Takeaway? It appears they've shaved some materials and changed the sizing by at least 1/2 a size. So, be forewarned, if they're made in Vietnam, order true to size (I'm an 11, measured) or a 1/2 size larger. The vietnamese-made boots also seem a little bit more stiff than the chinese-made, but I need to give them a chance to break in a bit to see if that impression changes. Overall, I still like the look and the feel of them, that's why I keep ordering them.
Not only do Wallabees look like the perfect blend between Japanese and British styling, they are the most comfortable pair of new shoes I’ve ever owned. The maple tone also goes with everything yet stands out from the crowd. The cool classic in a post sneaker world.
Clark executives, stop! And listen. As a loyal customer of over 20 years, I am deeply saddened to see such an inferior product, especially now that other companies are making virtually the same shoe without the crepe sole. This crepe sole in the new products has been garbage from day one. I’ve had Clark’s Wallabee’s that lasted as an everyday shoe for five plus years. I’ve went through 10 pairs in that amount of time. Still comfortable, but overall quality is trash. The sole is a composite of at least two layers of the crepe sole, but there is a third, hidden, inner plastic or rubber sole core concealed by the crepe outer layer. The sole blows apart in six months. Buy a different shoe for half as much that will last twice as long. Wallabees are garbage, better off ... MoreClark executives, stop! And listen.
