FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Wally Braided shoes have a textile upper and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions and may not offer protection in wet weather.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap is preferred. The insoles can be removed and hand-washed separately.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate fit. These shoes tend to run true to size for many wearers. Consider trying them on if possible, or reading reviews for fit feedback.

What is the primary benefit of the Wally Braided design?

The primary benefit is the combination of extreme lightness, flexibility, and an easy-on slip-on system, offering exceptional comfort for everyday casual wear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with your own preferred insoles or custom orthotics for added comfort or support.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Wally Braided design offers a relaxed fit due to its flexible materials and construction, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. However, for very wide feet, it's advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

These shoes can be worn with or without socks. If wearing socks, thinner or no-show socks are often preferred to maintain the sleek look and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

The elastic laces are designed for a slip-on fit. If too loose, ensure your heel is properly seated. If too tight, try gently stretching the upper by hand. For significant fit issues, consider trying a different size.

Insole is uncomfortable or needs replacement

The insoles are removable. You can slide them out and replace them with your preferred aftermarket insoles or orthotics. Ensure the replacement fits snugly within the shoe base.

Smell developing inside the shoe

Remove the insole and wash it separately with mild soap and water. Allow both the insole and the shoe to air dry completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoe overnight to absorb odors.

Material seems stiff initially

The shoes are designed to be flexible. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Avoid excessive flexing initially.

  • Slip-on design with elastic laces makes them very easy to put on and take off.
  • Flexible sole provides good ground feel and comfort.
  • Removable insoles allow for customization and easier cleaning.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Wally Braided shoes come ready to wear. Simply slip them on. The elastic laces provide a snug fit without needing adjustment. If desired, the insole can be removed by gently pulling it out from the shoe.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult foot sizes. They are compatible with most standard sock liners or can be worn sockless. The removable insole can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar size and thickness.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the textile upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Insole: Remove the insole and hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  3. Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  4. Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage.
  5. Machine Washing (Use with Caution): While some users report success, machine washing is generally not recommended by the manufacturer as it can degrade materials and adhesives. If attempting, use a gentle cycle with cold water, remove insoles and laces (if applicable), and air dry.
