Wallabee

Women's

I really liked the "Brown Wallabees" because they don't get as dirty as the tan ones. But you could at least make it where they have more support. I mean come on if you're paying this price for a pair of shoes you expect them to be suitable for you! :)

A tip for breaking in the thick leather of the beeswax finish: put them on with thick socks and heat them with a hair dryer on high, then walk around the house till they cool. You have to get them all the way warm -- but it really works.

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.
