Proper care is crucial for maintaining the appearance and longevity of your leather Wallabees and their unique crepe soles.
Clean Regularly: Wipe down the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust after each wear.
Deep Clean (as needed): For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wipe the shoe in circular motions. Follow product instructions carefully.
Condition: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few weeks or months, depending on wear. This helps to moisturize the leather, prevent drying and cracking, and maintain its suppleness. Allow it to soak in before buffing gently with a clean cloth.
Protect: Consider using a water and stain protector specifically designed for leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents, abrasive cleaners, or alcohol-based products, as these can damage the leather.
Remove Dirt & Debris: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and small particles. Use a dedicated crepe brush or crepe eraser to gently rub off dirt, dust, and sticky residue. This tool is designed to lift impurities without damaging the sole.
Stubborn Marks: For more stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap (like saddle soap) mixed with water can be carefully applied with a soft brush, then immediately blotted dry with a clean cloth. Avoid saturating the sole.
Avoid Oils & Solvents: Do not use oil-based products or strong solvents on the crepe sole, as these can alter its texture and stickiness.
Storage: Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Drying Wet Shoes: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can damage the leather and sole.
