FAQs

What is the primary material of the Wallabee shoes?

The upper is made from premium suede, and the sole is constructed from natural rubber crepe.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Regularly brush with a suede brush. Use a specialized suede cleaner for stains and apply a protective spray to prevent future marks and water damage.

Is the crepe sole durable?

Yes, the natural rubber crepe sole is known for its durability and comfort, providing shock absorption for everyday wear.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The moccasin construction generally offers a comfortable fit, but individual fit can vary. Trying them on or checking size charts is recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as suede is susceptible to water damage and staining. Using a protective spray can offer some resistance, but caution is advised.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Consider applying a protective suede spray.

Crepe sole is attracting dirt

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Note that crepe soles naturally attract some dirt; this is part of their characteristic appearance and function. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes with appropriate socks for a few hours each day to allow them to break in. Suede can stretch slightly over time. Ensure the laces are loosened during initial wear.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to lift the nap. If a stain remains, use a suede cleaner designed for water stains.
