FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Wallabee generally fits true to size, but the roomier toe box can feel looser than structured dress shoes.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
Apply a high-quality suede protector spray specifically designed for leather footwear before initial wear.
Can the crepe sole be replaced?
While not always cost-effective, some professional cobblers can resole crepe-soled shoes.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the moc-toe construction provides a naturally generous width that accommodates many foot shapes well.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place with cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shape and absorb moisture.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole is turning dark or picking up small debris
Gently scrape off surface debris and use a mild soap solution with a stiff brush to clean the rubber edge.
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a specialized rubber eraser to gently lift the nap of the suede material.
Shoe feels too loose
Consider using a thin leather or felt insole to occupy extra volume and provide a snugger fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes do not require a complex break-in process, though the suede will soften significantly after the first few wears. For care, it is essential to use a suede-specific brush to remove loose surface dirt. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from stiffening. To maintain the appearance of the crepe sole, gently wipe the edges with a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could dissolve the rubber. It is highly recommended to apply a water-repellent suede spray before the first wear to guard against spills and debris.
