FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Wallabee is made of leather and is not inherently waterproof; we recommend using a leather-safe water-repellent spray if you expect to encounter light dampness.
How should I clean the moc toe stitching?
Use a soft, dry brush to gently sweep away debris from the stitching lines without damaging the threads.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Wallabee is designed with a standard footbed; while it is secured for structural reasons, many users choose to insert thin aftermarket insoles for extra arch support.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes, as a natural material, the leather will gradually stretch and conform to the shape of your foot with regular wear.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a well-ventilated area, preferably using shoe trees to maintain the shape of the moc-toe silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the laces fully and wear them for short durations to allow the leather to stretch naturally.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Wallabees last, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: Wear them indoors for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust or dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the material.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading or cracking.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to size. If you plan to wear thicker socks, consider this when assessing the snugness of the lace adjustment.
