I've owned so many Wallabees over the years, and just had the Maple Suede delivered... what have you guys done?? The fit is looser than it's ever been, the suede/leather are unbelievably flimsy, the shoe feels super light and unstable, and the laces are just terrible.Wallabees used to have a weight to them and you could feel the quality of the suede... that is so not the case any more. Even the laces were great. These feel like cheap knock-offs. I am so saddened and disappointed in what you guys have done to a formerly great and timeless shoe.Clarks Originals are pretty much the only shoes I wear. I'd recommend them to everyone. I just can't any more if this lack of quality is maintained.

I am a college professor, outdoors enthusiast, and dad of four small kids. I wear the beeswax wallabees every single day. I wear them to work, wear them out with the kids and basically doing everything. The waxed leather makes them fairly weather resistant, and the sole has held up far better than other leather shoes I have owned. I cannot recommend these shoes enough. Aside from the practicality, I constantly receive comments as to how much people like the looks of them. I plan on purchasing more of these in the future.

I have 4 pairs of #WallabeeBoots that are 13 years old. After I wore my first pair for a bit, I went back to buy another 3 pairs in different colors because I thought they felt so comfortable and looked pretty nice - I REALLY like them.My maple suede's sole is getting too thin so I ordered a new pair. I just received them but unfortunately, they'll be returned to the store later this week.You've cut too many corners on the Wallabee Boot's materials and perhaps on its manufacturing also (to increase profit margins?) The overall quality, fit and feel have significantly diminished compared to what it was 13 years ago.1. The new sole insert is thin, it only goes half the length of the boot and it's flat.

The sole insert in my old pair is a lot thicker, runs the whole length of the boot and the edge around the heel part curves up so it cups my heels2. The new crepe soles are way thinner. They would have been my "go to" boots. I don't think the soles would last 2 years. Also, having a thicker sole not only prolong its useful life, but it also provides cushion.3. The suede feels cheaper. It also looks thinner and feels stiffer in comparison. My old pair fit like a glove straight out the box. I didn't have to break it in.4. One of the things I like about my old pair is I can easily slip into them. The new ones, I have to push my feet in because the opening is now a lot smaller.5. Not sure if where it's manufactured affects the fit and quality but the new one is made in Vietnam vs. China for my old pair.Yes, I can simply buy a better sole insert from your store, push into as opposed to slip into them, give it some time to break in, etc. to make it work, but why should I settle for a lesser quality product that is also at a higher price point than what I originally had?You HAD a really great product. If you're branding the leather tabs and marketing the Wallabee Boot as an "Original", keep it original or change for the better as opposes to cutting corners. And I know my points are irrelevant for today's first time buyers of the boot because they don't know how good it was then.Please bring the old boots back for us 90s folks.
The Clark Wallabee High Top in beige suede offers timeless style with a comfortable fit. Its premium suede construction ensures durability, while the high-top design adds a classic touch to any outfit. Perfect for both casual and semi-formal wear.5/5. The only cons: delicate colour.
Over the past 12 years I have owned 6 pairs of Wallabee Boots in beeswax. The construction, fit, and look have always remained consistently great so year after year I would always order another pair.Unfortunately, this year, the Clarks company changed the shoe completely. It is poorly made and very uncomfortable. As soon as you pull them out of the box you can tell that they are different; they are lighter, the leather has a more of a plastic feel to it, and the once comfy insole is non-existent. They were returned as soon as they were opened.I wish companies would respect quality construction instead of trying to compete with big box chain stores. I will no longer be purchasing shoes from Clarks until their product quality improves.
Just bought a pair of maple suedes after wearing out my ~7 year old pair. Haven’t worn them yet but from trying them on I can tell the quality has gone down.My main issue is that the new version has a very thinly padded heel that is glued to the sole and stops midway whereas the old version had a removable insole that covered the entire footbed, was removable, and actually padded. Also, the old insole cupped the heel for a better fit and the new one is just flat. Also, it seems the ankle opening got smaller so they’re not as easy to slide on as the old ones.For what it’s worth, my old ones were made in China and the new ones were made in Vietnam (even the size/made in label on the new ones is a cheap looking plastic sticker instead of printed directly on the ... MoreJust bought a pair of maple suedes after wearing out my ~7 year old pair.

I don't normally post reviews, but feel so strongly about these shoes that I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of negative reviews about the "new" Wallabee...which they strangely still call an "Original" even though it is effectively a different shoe.I have worn Wallabees as for 21 years, with a couple of pairs having been re-soled. Given the high cost of re-soling these days, I bought a new pair this time around. Although I saw all of the negative reviews here that were essentially saying the new (made in Vietnam) Wallabee had problems, I figured I'd roll the dice and see how they seemed. My prior pairs were made in China, and this new pair I'm trying is made in Vietnam.Having now tried these on at home, I will be sending them back and never buying Wallabees ... MoreI don't normally post reviews, but feel so strongly about these shoes that I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of negative reviews about the "new" Wallabee...which they strangely still call an "Original" even though it is effectively a different shoe.I have worn Wallabees as for 21 years, with a couple of pairs having been re-soled.

My prior pairs were made in China, and this new pair I'm trying is made in Vietnam.Having now tried these on at home, I will be sending them back and never buying Wallabees again, at least until Clarks changes how they are made. These are a complete disaster, for all the reasons others have mentioned in negative reviews:- Most notably, the previous flat insert has been replaced with a glued-in heal cup that runs about 3/4 length of the shoe. This then dumps the ball of your foot directly onto the suede interior of the shoe, rather than having some support from the original flat insole. The heal cup/arch piece is not very wide, completely guides your foot into a single position and feels rigid and cheap. This also effectively creates more heel drop by elevating the back of your foot and pushing you to put more pressure on the ball of your foot and toes. To those accustomed to older Wallabees, I can't stress this enough: if you compared China with Vietnam Wallabees with your eyes closed, you'd think they were completely different shoes. They look similar on the outside, but that's it.- I can also confirm that the foot opening at the top of the boot is indeed narrower/smaller.- The soles do indeed feel different from the older crepe. Part of this is because the upper feels so much different, but the soles have less cushion and seem narrower and more rigid.My advice to classic Wallabee fans: hold onto your China ones and see about re-soling. Or, do a search for "original Wallabee Ireland" and you will find that the original Irish company that made Wallabees for a couple of decades is now back in business with Portugal-made Wallabee style boots that, by most accounts, sounds like they are truer to the original.PS: I've given these a 1-star rating for style as well, even though they look very similar to the original Wallabee. What good is the look of a shoe if you can't wear it any more?!
These are some very premium shoes! Right out the box you already know you have an expensive pair of shoe that shoes in the quality of its design. I was feeling nostalgic and since I never owned a pair as a teenager because we couldn’t afford them I definitely wanted to own a pair as an adult. I love the look of these shoes. Definitely go at least a half size up from your normal size. I bought my brother a pair too for Christmas as he expressed to me that he would like to once again start a collection. His is Olive suede and cold just like mine. I have a low top beeswax that are super comfy and made me want more! I hope they lasts sometime for the price tag!
I was on the fence for buying these for the longest time. My advice for anyone who is in the same boat: go for it. Just do it. I’m not one to care that much about matching certain shoes with certain outfits, but if you are, at the very least, buy them for the sake of comfort or around-the-house shoes. They are so so so comfy. My only complaint is that for someone with borderline medium/wide feet, these might be slightly narrow, but I haven’t broken them in yet. The suede is so soft and almost seems like there is no break in period. I’m only hoping there is for the sake of my pinky toes. They are just some super chill comfy moccasin style shoes/boots that are timeless and have a classi look to them. I got the maple suede boot. I almost went with the beeswax boot, but ... MoreI was on the fence for buying these for the longest time. My advice for anyone who is in the same boat: go for it. Just do it.
