FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK adult sizing, though the moccasin construction may feel slightly roomy for those with very narrow feet.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the rubber sole provides grip, the uppers are not waterproof. We recommend using a quality weather-proofing spray to protect against light rain.
How do I keep the suede clean?
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Avoid liquid cleaners on suede.
Are these suitable for formal events?
They are perfect for smart-casual events, but may be too informal for strictly black-tie or formal business dress codes.
How long will the rubber sole last?
With standard daily use, the durable rubber outsoles are designed to provide years of wear.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal space is generally accommodating, allowing you to swap in custom orthotic inserts if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Material shows water spots
Use a professional suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff out the affected area once fully dried.
Laces feel loose throughout the day
Ensure a double knot is tied or consider replacing the laces with a slightly textured cotton pair for better friction.
Outer sole picks up small pebbles
Periodically inspect the tread pattern and dislodge debris using a blunt tool to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Since the upper material is often suede or leather, it is highly recommended to apply a protective water-repellent spray before the first wear to guard against stains and moisture. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized brush for suede or a damp cloth for smooth leather to gently clean the surface. Do not submerge them in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the structural integrity and finish of the materials.
