FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The suede is treated for water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
How should I clean the crepe sole?
You can clean the edges of the crepe sole with a damp cloth and mild soap, being careful not to let the liquid seep into the suede upper.
Do Wallabees run true to size?
Generally, the Wallabee fits true to standard UK sizing, though the moccasin construction provides a slightly roomier feel than a traditional sneaker.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Wallabee features a structured leather lining and integrated construction; replacing the insoles is not recommended as it may alter the fit.
How long will the crepe sole last?
The lifespan of the sole depends on your walking patterns and surfaces. With regular care and avoidance of extreme heat, they are designed for longevity.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The moccasin construction is naturally accommodating, providing more width in the toe box than many standard dress shoes.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole accumulating small stones or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge items from the rubber pores after daily wear.
Suede losing its texture or appearing matted
Gently rub the surface with a dedicated suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap and restore its appearance.
Stains on the suede upper
Use a dry suede eraser for localized spots; avoid using liquid cleaners unless they are specifically formulated for suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees maintain their form, use a shoehorn when putting them on to protect the heel counter. For suede care, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. Avoid saturating the suede with water; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen. The crepe sole should be cleaned periodically with a soft brush to remove pebbles or debris that can become embedded in the natural rubber. Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent moisture buildup within the leather lining.
