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!

Good work how much do you charge. I have like 3 pair.
Wow! I think this is the first Wallabee resole ever on KZread- clearly there was a reason lol. Great job!

The Wallabee Shoes are like a Timex Watch no one wants to repair neither one of them

I think you are in error Jacob. This isnt the first Wallabee resole on KZread. It's the first resole EVER! (They did it purely for the KZread fans, dont deny it!)
The coolest thing about this video is that it shows how y'all can pretty much do whatever y'all want, to just about any shoe out there!! This, along with that Walmart video and anything's possible! Man, the perks to having the skill and your own shop are crazy!! 😆 We'll have to come up with some off the wall ideas for the next video! 👍💪

@@stephenremington8448I had it done to my old MBT’s! It looks and feels amazing!
The sound of that old school leather cutting wheel is my absolute most favorite sound in the world. I love it every single time. It’s organic and real and sounds like work and craft and care. Fantastic.
This is brilliant! Those soles are really cushy and now lined with wool these things must be a joy to wear on cool dry weather!
Happy to see this video. Clark's are a household name in the Caribbean...glad to see one being restored
What makes this build so amazing is what little you had to work with.They came out great!

As i watching this thousand miles away from your shop and wonder one day or sooner, i want to send my wallabee for a resole. A neat and nicely done by you, amazing!

Right!
You both always manage to find the perfect balance between artisan and ASMR in your videos. Thanks for always sharing tip & tricks while also keeping us involved with the incredible camera angles that also show the materials and machinery involved in this trade!
Since I discovered your videos I watch them all. You are skillful and remember me of the love for a well done job by my grandfather, who made wood sabots in his small workshop. Greetings from Italian Alps.

That’s great, Riccardo! I love meat memories like that. We appreciate you watching! By the way, we’ve both been to Italy many times, including the Alps. Such a beautiful area!
The fact you hand-sewed leather, AND without a thimble, completely blew my mind.
LOVE the craft and the dedication. Nothing but salute!
This was well done and while I like seeing the standard welt reconstruction/ resole that you do so well, this was far more interesting as it required a different approach. The shearling liner and trimming was clever and the final outcome looks great. Well done!
That was awesome. So cool when you trimmed the lining down to not change the size of the boot. Side note, I've had my Anson belts since Sept '21 and they're great (back then you could get 3 belts and 3 buckles for $99).
It is a comfort to see that you guys (being in the shoe restoration business) shoes look as messed up as ours. I have a pair of Sperry Women's Wallaby boots with leather soles I'd love to be restored. I've had them for years and refuse to throw them away.
What an awesome job. They look great and the sheep’s wool is a fitting upgrade.
Your channel motivated me to buy my first pair of boots, and I used what I learned from you (and a few others) about build quality, welts, and stacked heels, when making my selection. Never thought I could pull off boots in a white collar environment. Seriously, my feet and I thank you for guiding me to the rabbit hole.
In New Zealand these are called Clark's Nomads. Back in the 1980's these were the ultimate school kid shoe. They had lace tags which kids would decorate to their liking.
You really have to love your pair of Wallabies, just to have them resoled forget about the winterizing
What you really need are some Merino wool socks. Two sources I use are Quince(low prices for high quality goods, and free shipping) and LL Bean. 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 what a wonderful work . Conny .
Amazing wok, wish I still had my og ones, the leather on those was butter smooth and worn perfectly
It's a pleasure watching you enjoying what you do. I'm also lucky that I enjoy my work.
Impressive work, the number of skills you demonstrated really stands out. The insole stitching was my favorite part, fine attention to detail. The result was as good, or even better than new. Kool vid.

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

That’s awesome! I remember a lot of that from my childhood as well. Let us know if we can help.
Those old soles are great for cleaning your sanding belts.
You are a true artist. What a patience and set of skills!
I was skeptical because I was looking for EDC belts, and I wasn’t sure Anson belts was for my me. I took your advice, checked it out and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality, price, and ease of ordering. Love what I got and how it arrived! Thanks! Enjoy your videos because you talk right even if I only wear Merrell’s
Wowww!! That is some awesome craftsmanship!!!! Always love you guys!
They look great. Love my wool socks during the winter.
Trenton every since childhood cancer cold goes right through me. My hands and feet get freakishly cold. Weston heated socks rock. So nice to have warm feet when it's cold. They are battery powered socks so it you get them get an extra set of batteries.
You really need to increase the size to accommodate thicker winter ❄️ Sox. And linings just make this more important.
Great job. I used to wear those all the time in the early 90s too. I was worried the sheep's wool would make them too tight, but you answered that too. Well done.
SnoSeal those bad boys! Best one from you guys. Love the wool lining!
That sure was a lot of work and I appreciate your high quality craftsmanship.
As always the craftsmanship is a amazing. However, for the amount of cold weather you get where you live, try 90%Merino wool socks. Then your feet won't sweat in the summer having wool always in your shoes.
This video brought me back to the early ’70s. My older brother had a pair, I thought they were cool. I appreciate the man hours you put into the making.
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.
Clarks Wallabee are one of my favorites, cool to see the restoration.
Love the lining job
Those look absolutely baller. Paired with some baggy corduroys and a varsity jacket? Fire.
I loved the specialized cobbler's tool you used to trim the lining!
ALWAYS a great video with you guys! Heath you worked a bit of extra magic on these shoes with the wool lining.. I'm in Knoxville TN. You guys take care over there in your part of Tennessee.. We love coming that way for a visit... Stay blessed and protect your peace..
That was the most difficult resole I've ever seen. Props to you, man.
i just love watching that heavy duty sewing machine punch so easily through all those materials
Very cool project! Seriously, you made your shoes into what YOU wanted. That is great. I live in South Texas. Cold is rarely a thing here, for more than a day or two at any one time. 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.
Awesome video guys! Again you guys rock with these projects!,
This was incredible guys!!! Great Job!!!!
Amazing restoration of these clarks wallabee, I have some maple suede wallabees. 8 years ago I had leather ones similar to these. 🥰
I have to imagine that those crepe rubber soles are so comfortable to walk on. And the wool lining, perfect for the winter time. I want a pair.
Another one! Those were a hit in the eighties! I loved mine! Great job.
CERTAINLY I DID ENJOY !
Great job !!
Was hoping to see a leather midsole with a glued crepe outsole… BUT I really can’t complain… It’s T and H!!
Great video so labor intensive always wondered how those shoes were constructed. They look so comfortable now
Heath, you sir out did yourself in this video. This has to be one of my favorites of all time,very cool !!
Amazing Overhaul.
I’ve had a pair of dockers desert boots resoled. I personally stitched the midsole on with a jerk hook and had the cobbler install a cristy sole. Mad respect for using plantation crepe.
I love Wallabees. Wish I had another pair!
In a world where everything seems so slap dash, you guys are amazing in so many ways.
Hah! That barber's electric clipper allusion for the lining is priceless. This was great! 🤓👍
That was really nice!!!
Great job. Now I want a Clark’s Wallaby boot (winterized).
Would love to have my wallabees restored like this.
Glad to see that you were working on your own shoe. I hope that they will keep your feet warm next Winter.
I used to wear out the outside heel really quick. The we so comfortable new, wore the all through HS and college. Going to have to order the Anson belts.
Incredible restoration job! They're probably better now than the day the left the factory.
Great work chief!
A long time since I've seen a pair of these. Great job! I bet your feet will love that lining. Sometimes it's a real advantage to have a cobbler in the family!
Love the creativity- good job
That was fun to watch.
This is the dopest video I've watched on youtube in a long time. Wallabee's rule and adding the lining to them was a great idea!
We called these “earth shoes” back in the 70’s 😊
Love those shoes very comfortable! Great video.
Great result! Legendary brand Clarks, even if their signature looks like Clanks! I guess these were only ever intended to be disposable.
This was cool to watch!
I had a pair of these in college, only they were the tan suede version. Loved those things.
Bro! Use a foam hot wire knife. That gets the rubber off and it’s flexible enough to follow the sole and cut as close to the leather as possible. Then sand
Wow! I didn’t think you they still make that kind of soft rubber soles
Beautiful work! 🤩
Great video, they look so comfortable!

Fun video, but they do make thick wool socks. That way you could wear them in summer and winter.
try a solvent such as acetone, furniture stripper. One of those will breakdown the glue and or rubber.
Such good stuff!! I welcome more content like this for sure!!
Righteous profession !
Great video! 👍

Great video as usual 🤩
Intense job but what a great outcome!
It is easier to remove the wallpaper from the wall when dry, as well as the soles of these shoes! Great job!
My Tobacco flip flops arrived this past week and they are great.👏🥳They look even better in person. Can't wait to be able to wear them out and about. Ironically they arrived on a day when we were having an ice storm.🥶
Loving it looks wonderful
