Business in the Front, Party in the Back of Clarks' Barely-There Clog
Loafers are serious business, but Clarks is making the office-ready shoe a lot more fun.
Clarks’ Wallabee Sling has the sophisticated structure of a full-blown loafer, thanks to its smooth leather upper and refined gold accents. Its polished look is pared down by the Wallabee Sling's open-back heel and raised wedge, adding a layer of playfulness to the corporate-flavored shoe.
Experimental loafers have been taking over the unorthodox shoe game ever since New Balance turned its 1906R sneaker into a full-on loafer in 2024. Since then, off-beat loafers have become the new clog — every brand wants one. From UGG’s Wrap-Tech to HOKA’s Speed Loafer, adventurous loafer silhouettes are all the rage across the board.
Unlike these brands, though, Clarks is something of an expert when it comes to classic loafers — they’re a long-standing component of the brand’s DNA. From the classic Wallabee to the Torhill Bee, Clarks is well-established in the world of business-first footwear.
The Wallabee Sling is a natural progression of the brand's existing portfolio of business-casual style. Creating what is effectively the mullet of the footwear realm? Well, that’s just good business.
