FAQs
What is the best way to clean the dark brown suede?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Applying a suede protector spray is recommended for ongoing protection.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Meare Walla shoes are described as a regular fit. While they offer comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider if the fit will suit your needs.
How long will the comfort last?
The anatomical footbed is designed for lasting comfort and will continue to provide support. Over time, it may conform more closely to your foot shape, enhancing personalized comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as they can stain and become damaged. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
What does 'tonal crepe rand' mean?
A 'tonal crepe rand' refers to a layer of material (often rubber or a similar compound) that sits between the upper of the shoe and the sole. 'Tonal' means it matches the color of the shoe (in this case, dark brown), and 'crepe' typically indicates a slightly textured, flexible material. It adds to the shoe's aesthetic and construction.
What is the difference between Meare Walla and Wallabee?
The Meare Walla is an updated style building on the silhouette of the classic Wallabee. It retains key elements like the anatomical footbed and premium materials but often features modern sole units (like the EVA sole in this case) and updated design details for a contemporary feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Consider applying a suede protector.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow them to stretch slightly. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.
Laces are soiled
Remove the laces and gently wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Soles show signs of wear
Wipe the EVA sole with a damp cloth. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a cloth. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.
