FAQs

How should I clean the suede on my Wallabees?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and to lift the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and allow to air dry. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

Are the natural crepe soles durable?

Natural crepe soles offer excellent flexibility and comfort but can attract dirt and may show wear more visibly than rubber soles. They require regular cleaning to maintain appearance.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keep them in a dust bag or their original box to protect the suede.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain, as suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection against light moisture and stains.

How do I break in my new Wallabees?

The butter-soft suede and natural crepe sole generally make the Wallabee comfortable from the start. Wear them for short periods indoors initially, and they will quickly conform to your foot shape.

What does 'tonal fobs' refer to?

Tonal fobs are small decorative elements, often made of the same material or color as the shoe's laces or body, attached to the laces. In this case, they enhance the shoe's authentic aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to gently lift surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner according to its instructions and allow to air dry completely before brushing again. Consider a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Crepe sole is discolored or dirty.

Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive eraser or a specialized crepe sole cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the suede to mold to your feet. The natural crepe sole will also soften with wear.

Water spots on the suede.

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a waterproofing spray can help prevent future water spotting.
