Hey there. I have a beautiful "new" pair I found Clarks Originals in orange/red suede. MFG 2013 they have a layer on the bottom that's not crepe but crepe is after this later and it has "clarks original" label sewn into it. Like a chevron design layer molded on top of the crepe bottom layer. Does any of that make sense? I can't find anything on them anywhere and they are brand new. Style number 13292
The dark sand suede are not the Originals Wallabees, they are Wallabee Evo. The Originals have "Clarks Originals" printed on the insole and the Evos have "Clarks Wallabees". The biggest difference between Shacre/Evo and the Originals is that neither Shacre nor Evo have crepe sole - it's just syntethic rubber.
Both your statements are false. The outsoles on both shacre and Evo are made completely of synthetic rubber. When not sure you can always refer to product description on clarks site. They are all Clarks shoes, but only the ones with crepe rubber outsole are called Originals and labeled as such.
@lubick-vt3ut u are right about the original but wrong about the synthetic part . The lining of the shoes, which is the inside sole, is synthetic/plastic the outside sole is rubber light weight version of crepe . If u read the description on the evo boots it says sole. rubber Lining. Synthetic So the outside sole is lighter version of crepe
No :) If the outsole is made of crepe Clarks states "sole material: crepe". Everything other than that is not crepe. Clarks states "sole material: rubber" on most of their sneakers and casual shoes. Check Nature Three for example. It also says it's sole is made of rubber and it's clearly not crepe.
You can definitely resell Clarks wallabies. I’ve done it three times. Clarks are handmade so you’re able to take them off and resold them pretty easily from what I heard. I know that’s a lot different from what you’re saying but maybe because I live in New York City I have more access to more cobblers. Although the first place that I walked into did it and I got them back the next day. On the Clark’s website, they actually tell you to resold the shoes to extend the life. Also to contradict what you said which is just my opinion and what I’ve seen is the crêpe souls are actually easy to find and replace
Crepe soles wear out much faster and they get real dirty real quick. I prefer the harder soles on the shacre li. Honestly I prefer the shacre li in general. More comfortable too and the river some makes it more durable
If not a crepe sole for resoling, can a different type of sole be used instead ? Like the ones in combat boots . I’m not taking wallabees into consideration but other derby style shoes from Clark’s becaus the upper is fanstastic and the sole is broken .
@@truthtell2588yup. One thing about Clark’s are that they are very true to size. I’ve owned 11 pairs of Clark’s original wallabees because they are instantly comfortable (unlike having to break in docs) and every now and then I see a colour that I can’t pass up.
I have all of these. I specifically didn't buy the crepe souls on my next purchase because they get too dirty and there's nothing you can really do to clean the soul, therefore I bought the non-crepe souls because they're easier to maintain...
@ownyourmasters7890 Exactly. I been wearing Crepe Sole aka CheseBottom Wallabees since the 90's, and I'm done with the Crepe getting dirty as hell after 3-4 wears. SMH. I'm only copping the Clarks Wallabee Shacre Runs from now on.
If you know you know. you ever wear crepe soles on hot asphalt? It's like you can feel yourself leaving the some on the pavement. Lot of these people new to the clerks thing@@lordg3803

Synthetic insole the out sole is crepe

Don’t think any of those are crepe soles. They are not the Clarke originals either
The originals had a very soft rubbery sole.
I usually buy the Beeswax Wallabee's, but I bought a black nubuck pair a month or so ago, and I really like the look of them.

iv read that the quality of the soles and shoe has changed alot in the past 2 years
Love clarks!!
Great review! I grew up wearing these and love them.
I remember having a couple of pairs of the original wallabies in my younger years.
If I wear size 7 in sneakers can I buy a wallabee in size 7

@@truthtell2588 go off size down
None of them have real crepe soles, therefore they are not originals
Doesn't mean they not clarks brand
Yeah they are clarks, just not clarks originals@@jd3413
