FAQs
How do I clean the suede uppers?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, always following the product instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the suede can be treated for water resistance, the natural crepe sole is not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp weather.
How does the crepe sole affect comfort?
The natural crepe sole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, offering significant comfort for everyday wear and walking.
What is the 'moccasin-style design'?
This refers to the construction method where the upper leather is wrapped around the foot and stitched to the sole, creating a soft, flexible, and comfortable fit characteristic of the Wallabee.
How should I store my Wallabees?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Wallabee can be worn with or without socks. Thin to medium thickness socks are generally recommended for comfort and fit.
How do I break in my new Wallabees?
The premium suede and crepe sole are designed for comfort. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoe to mold to your foot. They generally require minimal break-in time.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently brush the surface, lifting the nap and restoring its texture.
Light scuffs or marks on suede
Allow the mark to dry. Use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub out the mark. Brush afterwards.
Crepe sole appears dirty
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the shoe dries naturally.
Water spots on suede
After the shoe has dried naturally, use a suede brush to restore the texture. For persistent spots, a suede cleaner may be necessary.
