FAQs

How should I clean the suede uppers?

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser. It's advisable to protect the suede with a protector spray before wear and reapply periodically.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is not ideal for heavy rain. The natural crepe sole can also be affected by prolonged wetness. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with Wallabees?

No-show socks are a popular choice to maintain a clean aesthetic. However, regular socks that complement the outfit also work well. Avoid very thick socks which might make the fit too snug.

How do I break in the Wallabees?

The butter-soft suede uppers are designed for comfort. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. They typically require minimal break-in time.

Can I wear these for formal occasions?

The Wallabee is primarily a casual or smart-casual shoe. It is generally not suitable for formal events but can be dressed up for smarter occasions when paired appropriately.

How do the natural crepe soles hold up over time?

Natural crepe soles offer excellent cushioning but can show wear more readily than synthetic soles. Regular cleaning and avoiding abrasive surfaces will help prolong their life.

What does 'cola hue' mean for the color?

The 'cola hue' refers to a rich, warm brown color, similar to the color of cola, giving the shoe a classic and appealing appearance.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser. Consider reapplying a protector spray after cleaning.

Crepe sole feels sticky or discolored

Wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or certain chemicals.

Shoes feel slightly stiff initially

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the suede to mold to your feet. This is normal for new suede footwear.

Laces are worn or dirty

Replace with new waxy laces of a similar type. These can often be found at shoe care retailers.
