Why We Love This Deal
The Wallabee, along with the original Desert Boot, are two of the most famous boots in history, and both are made by Clarks. The Wallabees dropped in the late ‘60s and became huge during the golden era of hip-hop (famously worn by the Wu-Tang Clan), and remain iconic to this day, regardless of the latest trends. Despite the boots' stardom, the lower-cut shoe version may be even more versatile. It's become popular for its more wear-anytime design, and right now, you can pick a pair for a very rare 40% off at Nordstrom.
The $160 Clarks Originals Wallabee Chukka Shoes are down to $96 at Nordstrom in the Tan Suede colorway. This is the best price you’re going to find for Wallabees online right now, and with only one colorway on sale, sizes will likely go quickly.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Upper: Suede
- Sole: Natural pebble crepe
- Construction: Moccasin, hand-stitched apron seam
- Best For: Casual everyday wear, business-casual, elevated streetwear
Few silhouettes have held up as long as the Wallabees, and this low-top version doesn’t mess with the formula too much. The suede comes from a British tannery with a long reputation for quality, and the hand-stitched apron seam and natural pebble crepe sole are the same details that made them so iconic in the first place.
For a sale this low, the Wallabees are worth comparing to Clarks’ own Wallastons, which usually retail for $120. Both share the same moccasin-inspired style and suede upper, but the Wallabees have better suede, a hand-stitched apron seam, and that natural pebble crepe sole. For $96, you’re getting the blueprint for a lower price than what the copycats retail for, and a worthy $20-$30 upgrade price compared to the Wallastons on sale.

What Shoppers Are Saying
There aren’t any reviews for these boots at Nordstrom, but Zappos has plenty, and one of them reads, “These boots are the best. Unique and stylish. Very comfortable too.” The shoes are known to last a long time, too: “This is my second pair...my first lasted 20 years! My all-time favorite boots.”
Additionally, since these are from the Clarks Originals sublabel, you’re getting quality that’s reserved for the brand’s heritage lineup: “I grew up wearing Clarks and the quality is still amazing.”
Getting heritage-quality boots for under a hundred bucks is always a big deal, and the Clarks Originals Wallabee Chukka Boots are no exception. Since only one colorway is available, sizes will dwindle fast, so now’s the time to grab a pair.
