FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a breathable GORE-TEX membrane that provides a waterproof barrier against rain and wet conditions.
Can I use these for hiking?
They are designed for urban environments and light terrain thanks to the Vibram sole, but they are not a technical mountain-hiking boot.
How do I keep the suede clean?
Regular use of a suede brush and a protective spray is recommended to maintain the finish.
Does the size differ from standard Wallabees?
The fit is generally consistent with the standard Wallabee, but the GORE-TEX lining adds a slightly thicker interior feel.
What is the benefit of the Vibram sole?
The Vibram sole offers enhanced traction, increased durability, and better shock absorption compared to traditional crepe soles.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a soft suede brush to lift the nap of the leather and restore its original texture.
Water spots on suede
Gently rub the entire surface with a lightly dampened cloth and allow to air dry completely, then brush.
Boots feel stiff
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to soften the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Initial Setup: Your boots will arrive with standard laces pre-installed. Before the first wear, consider using a high-quality water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede to add an extra layer of protection.
- Compatibility: These boots pair exceptionally well with denim, corduroy, or heavy cotton trousers given their rugged, heritage-inspired silhouette.
- Care Instructions: To clean, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt gently. If the suede becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent hardening. Periodically check the lugs on the Vibram sole and clear out any debris or small stones to maintain optimal traction.
