Clarks Originals launches a new iteration of one of its most iconic silhouettes with the unveiling of the Quilted Wallabee for the season. The new look comes in the colorway options of black or khaki and is made with a padded upper.
In terms of construction, it is made from 100% synthetic materials and features a toggle fastening over the front for adjustability. It is chosen over the utility laces and it all sits on top of the archetypal crepe sole unit. To round out the design, both of the colorway palettes are detailed with a quilted detail by the interior in a bright orange hue -- these are now available to shop online at BTSN.
