I'm OVERHAULING My Clarks Wallabee Boots

Special Anson Belt offer here: ansonbelt.com/trent Get 6 POSSIBLE belt combos for under $100. Thanks Anson Belt for sponsoring this video.
In this video, I restore and upgrade my pair of Clarks Wallabees. I wear these Clarks Wallabee boots quite often in the shop, and they're ready for a makeover. Using new rubber, we ordered from England, as well as adding sheeps wool to the insides...this pair of Clarks is looking great and ready to be worn. Time for another restoration!

I live in Western Massachusetts, and I've been wearing socks from both sources in my Tecovas and Thursday Boots for the past three winters. My feet haven't been cold, not even during the subzero temperatures we had in February!

    Oh man! You took me back to my junior high school days, in the early 80s. We called these “Chukka Boots,” and the kids who could afford them, were cool kids. My good friend, Oscar, loved them so much, that’s all he wore from 1st grade through high school. I never owned a pair, I was a brown Sperry top siders kinda kid. I was the kid who wore jordache jeans, top siders, collared shirts from the Go Around, and skinny ties. I was really into Rick Springfield and Cheap Trick back then. Excellent video. I’m going to be sending you guys a pair of British military desert boots. They are one size to big

    You should try putting the rubber in dry ice then sanding it off. Not sure if the dry ice will hurt the leather but it will turn the rubber hard making it much more manageable to work with/remove.

Been pondering your sandals for guys. That would be a year-round useful purchase. My mother-in-law gave me a pair of sheep wool lined house shoes / slippers decades ago when we were stationed in Germany (drafty quarters and cold environment!). I wear them so little, they will probably last beyond my time on earth.
