CLARKS WALLABEE Review: Is It a Boot or a Slipper? | BootSpy 

I think of the Wallabees as the "anti-shoe". Someone once described them as footwear for people who do not want to wear shoes and I think that's accurate, almost like uggs. Also Walter White etc...

Every men should have at least 1 pair of CLARKS WALLABEE , classic shoes

Been rocking wallabees since the mid 90's.. love em

mine always stay fresh cause I got like 10 pairs. that's the key. every man should have at least 10 pairs.

Resole America can resole wallabies for $70 with the same crepe sole from Clark’s. Just a heads up in case that’s a deal breaker for anyone looking to get one. I believe other similar companies could even switch the sole out to vibram or something similar

Heisenberg can’t recommend these boots enough

I went to a prep school and we always skirted by the school shoe requirements with wallabees. It’s a comfortable classic!

William, this is the first time I saw this video... Been wearing Clarks Wallabees and Weavers for years... Back when I was younger this was the original truly casual bum around shoe.... I have a pair of Weaver boots and just ordered a low cut pair of Weavers from Ruze (at half price!! On sale right now) and I have two pair of Wallabees, the low cuts in brown beeswax and the iconic light tan suede... These things look great with a pair of khakis or jeans and give the true meaning of casual comfort... ! Glad I saw this one today buddy... Love your videos... Greg

I bought a pair of Navy Blue leather, with a different rubber sole. Ideal travel boots, acceptable for the occasional professional gig. They have true moccasin, wrap around the bottom of the ball of your foot comfort. No break in means comfort from the get go. And light! The newer sole may not be quite as cushy, but also isn't a dirt magnet. Recommended!

Wallabees thank you for making black crepe sole

Dunno why people complaining about crepe soles getting dirty.. We didn't levitate

Was rocking those and 501s in the late 70s glad to see they are around .

I love Clarks wallabees and weavers. Stylish shoe

I'm 37 been wearing wallys since mid 90s . I even dye my wallys at times

Nice job with this video! I agree a great boot for around town. Super comfy and some ankle support! Thanks for sharing.

These type of shoes always reminds me of the Roots Canada shoes, who were a big hype in the Netherlands in the early 80s. Just like these, they looked different than other shoes, but they walked way better.

Nice review family. You gotta do the Clark Desert Boot.

I have been using this shoe for the last 20 years.

2 days after watch this video, someone sold me their Clark Wallabes 20 dollar (MYR 50). good condition and so comfort. So, I'm a Wallabes user too. 😂

Never enough. Some collect watches; I collect Wallos…🥂

You can use a rubber eraser to clean the soles

I would recommend footskins over these. Especially the walking boots which are a 6" boot similar to these but better, they're handmade in Minnesota of American materials, have a stitched on rubber sole sole that can be resoled , a true proper Moccasin construction, a reinforced heel, and brass eyelets. With the traditional Moccasin style " canoe sole " they're $187, with the cushy heeled boot outsoles they're $198 for the cowhide and about $50 more if you want deerskin. The lace up chukka with stitched on wrap around rubber outsoles ( look too much like a house slipper ) is $170, if you want the heeled boot outsole like the walking boots they have their buckle up chukka for just under $200. They discontinued the lace up chukka with boot outsole , but have some size 10 on clearance. They basically took the same idea as the Clark's wallabee, and made them better. They combined some elemets of boot construction with traditional Moccasin construction to make something as comfortable as a house slipper but a little more functional, and did it at a very reasonable price. If Footskins can make these by hand in Minnesota for what they charge, theres no reason for Clark's to charge what they do for stuff that's made in a 3rd world country.

Such an informative review! I’m going to go for it. Thanks mate!

Saphir Medaille d’Or Super Invulner - Waterproof Spray for suede is a great way to keep suede highly water resistant to keep these beauties clean and water resistant.

I was wearing those from 1972 to 1980 plus. Where were you ? Best damn shoe ever made. I don't give a damn what it looks like. Levi made a heavy duty one around 1976, KILLA !

are they comfortable on the achilles? or does it rub and cause blister?

I hate that I can’t find the black suede with the cream bottom anymore.

im thinking about getting these or the jcew Mclasester boot

clarks wallabees are the most beautiful boot in black and light gum soul

Good video, I appreciate your help and time!

I don't the boot is a good value for the amount of money these boots cost. There are worth about $80 max...

Nice review ! You have my follow

Folks may want to go down a half size. So, try them on. Also, they seem to mold to your feet after a while.

I have a pair of suede green original desert shoes from Clark’s, and a pair of suede oakland, plus a pair of atticus boots. The suede on the originals range seems better, yet the Oakland has a rubber base which is really comfortable and harder wearing. I think if Clark’s put the rubber base from their Oakland range yet had the originals quality of leather/suede, they would make a better boot. But I think the crepe sole is simply iconic for Clark’s, so I see why they leave them as they are. My crepe soles are mainly used within my studio work shoes (I cycle to work and leave them at work), and are silver underneath now due to the flooring, which strangely compliments the green suede! I really like Clark’s shoes, they really suffered during the late 80’s and 90’s in the U.K., but they stuck by their guns and seem to have had a Renaissance in the last 15 years. They seem to offer a classic style that hasn’t changed much over the years, where other companies seem to be producing really unsightly/bulky or ‘tuck and chuck’ unrefined products or have knocked the quality down whilst retaining price. That said, I have bought some pretty ugly products from Clark’s, and counter to what you say, if you check reviews everywhere, a lot of people (including myself) have a horrible break-period with Clark’s shoes (I had less of a break-in period with my red wing iron rangers!). I have owned countless pair of shoes from Clark’s, and they all have a horrendous heel pinch pain that you have to endure, the pain is worth it though, for the price and longevity of the shoes I’ve owned, they’ve outlasted other shoes in the price range.

Great review!! Covered everything

Bought my first pair in 1968 for $20.00 and made in Ireland.

Jesse we need to cook

There's definitely a way to resole Wallabees the no stitch makes it easier

1/2 size down is a far superior fit

Never step on oil..

Dude I’ve been following your channel, liking the videos and all cause I like what you’re doing, specially going over the affordable and/or more accesible brands that other more “established” channels are forgetting about. That said, this boots suck balls🥸

I wish I had time to worry about if my shoes are dirty...

They are the most phenomenal footwear ever ...I own like 40 pairs....

Hola como los compro .que m los envien M puedes decir la dirección. Oh como hago. Para comprar . Gracias

Hey William...Where could I find these boots for a better price?...my brother wants a pair but it’s a bit pricey for my pocket!

You can get them resoled. Ask Trenton and Heath

Outsole is it slip resistant?

Take that boost.

These boots can be resoled，I have done it

everyone knows go half a size down for wallabies

Super

People say you turn into a meth maker if you wear these
