FAQs
What are the Wallabees made of?
The Wallabee features butter-soft suede uppers and inimitable natural crepe soles.
How do I clean my suede Wallabees?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. A suede protector spray is recommended for ongoing care.
Are Wallabees good for walking long distances?
The natural crepe soles offer cushioning suitable for everyday walking and commuting, providing comfort throughout the day.
Can I wear Wallabees in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede Wallabees in heavy rain. Suede is sensitive to moisture, and the crepe sole can become slippery when wet. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What is the best way to store Wallabees?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Do Wallabees come in other colors?
Yes, the Wallabee style is available in a range of colors and materials. This guide specifically covers the cola suede variant.
How should the fit be?
Wallabees generally offer a comfortable fit. They should feel snug but not tight. Consider trying them on to ensure the correct UK size for your foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or stained
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Crepe sole feels sticky or dirty
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The natural materials will gradually conform to the shape of your foot.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn or frayed laces with new waxy laces of similar length and thickness to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
