Wallabee

I bought the wallabee bootie and this shoe, same color, both 8.5. The footbed was different. The liner went only halfway underfoot (stopped around the ball of the foot) for the shoe. I like arch support but the shoe felt odd. The shoe footbed was much wider than the boot and I had some gaping around the foot. The suede was more brushed, more rugged with the shoe. I kept the bootie as my foot fit more securely. Clark’s makes a less expensive version of their own wallabee, called Padmora. I have that in black and honestly find it more comfortable (shoe version) so I’m going for that version plus the wallabee boot for styling. Overall, this is a cute shoe but super wide. I may try again one day of they bring a brown suede version. Photos shoe boot next to shoe, boot on viewer’s left in both pics. Black Clark’s Padmora next to show, also.

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

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.

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.

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.

The shoes felt much larger . The fit was very uncomfortable.

I ordered a half size larger, allowing for socks in the winter, but these still felt uncomfortably snug in the front half while slipping out of the heel in the back. The arch support is low, but feels like a lump in the middle of my foot rather than supporting the arch. The shoes seem well made. maybe they designed the shoe for a smaller size but did not correct the proportions when making them larger. The sole is natural rubber with a pebbly crepe pattern. I believe this would have decent traction on dry sidewalks, maybe wet, doubtful for any snow.

Beautiful shoe: Love the style an colour, my son wears size 6 this was 6 medium so it cud not fit ....

So comfy but the insides stained my socks. I've been eyeing the beeswax pair for a while now & I finally caved when I was near a mall that had a Clark's store. They are comfy but the reason why I took off 1 star is because the inside of the shoes stains my socks. Other than that, I love them & am happy with my purchase!
