With GORE-TEX & Vibram, Clarks' Slickest Sneaker Is an Unstoppable Force

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

Remember the Clarks Originals Walla Eden Lo? Well, it's surviving and thriving with a new GORE-TEX update.

Mind you, the Clarks model already features sturdy Vibram soles. The brand has now added GORE-TEX uppers, making it waterproof and sweat-proof.

Bad weather days should be afraid. There's nothing the model can't handle now.

Clarks has introduced actual Wallabees with GORE-TEX and Vibram updates, including a Haven collaboration. The Walla Eden Lo is the same vibe but slightly different. It was born rugged.

It brings all the good things about the OG Clarks shoe, including its classy suede uppers, to a toughened sneaker-like silhouette. It looks as good as the Wallabee, but functions like your favorite hiking sneaker with Vibram and now, GORE-TEX protection.
