FAQs

How do I clean the white tumbled leather?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then a slightly damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. For stains, a specialized leather stain remover might be necessary. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, the natural crepe sole is not ideal for very wet conditions and can absorb water, potentially leading to discoloration or damage. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the difference between the flat and square leather laces?

The flat tonal laces provide a classic, understated look, while the square leather laces offer a more distinctive and textured aesthetic, allowing you to change the shoe's style.

Do the Wallabees offer good arch support?

The Wallabee features a full sock bed lining for comfort, but it is a relatively flat shoe. Individuals requiring significant arch support may consider using aftermarket insoles.

How do I break in my new Wallabees?

The tumbled leather is designed to be relatively soft. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration as the shoes conform to your feet. Avoid wearing them for long walks until they feel comfortable.

What is the natural pebble crepe sole made of?

It is made from natural rubber, providing flexibility and cushioning. This material is known for its unique feel and slight tackiness.

Troubleshooting

Crepe sole becoming sticky or discolored

This can occur due to heat or certain chemicals. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures and clean the sole with a mild soap and damp cloth, allowing it to air dry.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for tumbled leather. Ensure the conditioner is evenly distributed and allow it to soak in.

Shoe feels slightly loose

Utilize the two included sets of laces. Tighten the laces firmly using the flat tonal laces for a snugger fit, or experiment with different lacing techniques.

Care Instructions:

  • Leather Care: Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying. Apply conditioner periodically.
  • Crepe Sole Care: Clean the crepe sole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the natural rubber. Allow soles to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Lace Care: The laces can be hand-washed separately or replaced if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
