FAQs
Are these shoes safety-toe rated?
No, the Wally Work is certified to EN ISO 20347: 2022+A1:2024 OB SR, which pertains to slip resistance and occupational safety, but it does not feature a steel or composite toe.
Can I wash these in a machine?
We recommend hand-cleaning the upper with a damp cloth to preserve the water-repellent finish and structural integrity of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the anatomical comfort foam insoles are removable for cleaning or replacement.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally fit true to size for adult UK sizing, though the anatomical fit is designed to accommodate various foot widths comfortably.
What does the 'SR' certification mean?
The SR label stands for Slip Resistance, indicating the shoes have been tested to perform on various slippery floor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Slip resistance feels less effective over time
Check the outsole for debris or heavy wear. Clean the treads thoroughly with a soft brush and water to restore grip.
Insole feels flat or loses support
Remove the insole, clean it, and let it air dry completely. If the foam has reached its lifespan, replace it with a compatible orthotic insert.
Surface marks or stains on the exterior
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and safety of your Wally Work shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While they are designed for immediate comfort, wear them for shorter periods during the first few days to allow the foam insole to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the water-repellent coating.
- Insole Maintenance: Regularly remove the foam insole to allow the shoe to breathe. If the insole becomes compressed or soiled over time, it can be removed or replaced.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or deforming.
