FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are made from leather and are not inherently waterproof. While a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, they are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
How do I clean the black leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the main difference between WallabeeEVO and classic Wallabees?
The WallabeeEVO series typically features modern updates to the classic design, often including enhanced comfort features or updated sole technology while retaining the iconic silhouette.
Can I wear these boots in the summer?
Yes, the boots are designed for all-season wear. The leather and crepe-effect sole provide comfort, but consider breathability in very hot weather.
How durable is the crepe-effect rubber outsole?
The crepe-effect rubber outsole is designed for durability in typical urban environments. However, it may wear faster on abrasive surfaces or if exposed to excessive friction.
What size should I choose if I'm between UK sizes?
As leather will stretch, it's often recommended to size down if you are between sizes for a snugger initial fit. However, personal preference varies; trying them on is ideal.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to dry conditions or frequent wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a generous amount of leather conditioner and allow it to soak in. Repeat if necessary. Ensure regular conditioning.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or polish matching the color may be needed.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The crepe-effect sole provides grip, but may perform differently on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. If slippage persists, consider the environment of use.
Boots feel tight after initial wear
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For the leather upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Allow the conditioner to absorb fully before wearing.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to offer protection against the elements. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Suede Elements: If any part of the boot has suede accents (though this specific variant is leather), use a suede brush to maintain its texture and remove dry dirt.
