FAQs
Is the Wallabee waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not naturally waterproof. We highly recommend applying a dedicated suede protector spray to add a layer of water resistance.
How should I clean my blue suede Wallabees?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, the Wallabee fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the moccasin construction offers a comfortable, adaptive fit.
Are these shoes suitable for office wear?
Yes, their refined silhouette and high-quality materials make them a great fit for business-casual or smart-casual office environments.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can replace the laces with any standard lace of similar length if the originals wear out.
Troubleshooting
Water stains on suede
Allow the shoe to dry naturally, then use a suede eraser and brush to lift the dried water marks.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose surface dirt in the direction of the suede nap.
Loose fit around the midfoot
Re-lace the shoes starting from the bottom eyelets to ensure even tension across the instep for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Wallabee shoes, immediately treat the suede with a water-repellent spray designed for leather and suede products before the first wear. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep snow, as moisture can damage the suede texture. If the shoes become dusty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use shoe trees if possible to help the shoes maintain their characteristic shape.
