Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Wally Stretch Sox are not waterproof. The stretch mesh upper is breathable but will allow water to pass through.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand wash these shoes to preserve their shape and materials. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place them in a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made from a stretch mesh material, designed for breathability and a flexible fit.
How do the elastic laces work?
The elastic laces are designed to be non-functional; they provide a secure look and feel without needing to be tied, contributing to the slip-on ease.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The Wally Stretch Sox are known for being exceptionally lightweight, making them comfortable for extended wear and travel.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the foam insoles are removable and can be replaced with your preferred insoles or orthotics.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The stretch mesh material offers some flexibility, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
While designed for a relaxed fit, if they feel excessively loose, consider adding a thicker aftermarket insole or using heel grips for a more secure feel.
Difficulty removing insoles
Gently pry the insole upwards from the heel or sides. If it's stuck, try using a thin, flat object like a butter knife (carefully) to lift the edge.
Slight odor after wear
Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Material scuffs easily
Spot clean scuffs with a damp cloth. For persistent marks on the grey nylon, a specialized shoe cleaner for fabric may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
