Clarks Wallabee Sizing Guide: Do They Run Big?
The Clarks Wallabee is a cult classic — but its fit catches people off guard. Here's how to size it, from an authorized Clarks retailer at a family-run store open since 2003.
Do Clarks Wallabees run big or small?
Wallabees tend to run large and roomy. Many people take a half-size down from their usual sneaker size. If you're between sizes, size down.
How should the Wallabee fit?
Aim for a secure midfoot with a little toe room. The soft suede upper and moccasin construction stretch and soften with wear, so a snug (not tight) start is ideal. A touch of heel movement when brand-new is normal and settles as they break in.
Do the Wallabee shoe and Wallabee Boot fit the same?
Yes — they're built on the same last, so size them the same way (about a half-size down from your usual).
Are Wallabees good for wide feet?
The roomy fit makes them friendly for medium-to-wide feet. Narrow feet may prefer the half-size-down for a more secure hold.
Which Wallabee should I get — suede or leather?
The classic Wallabee comes in soft suede (Maple, Black, Cola) and smooth Beeswax leather. Suede is the iconic look and softens quickly; the Beeswax leather is a little more weather-friendly and wipes clean. Sizing is the same across materials — about a half-size down.
