FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Wally Braided shoes feature a textile upper and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How do I adjust the fit of the laces?
The shoes use standard cotton laces. You can tighten or loosen them by pulling or loosening the laces through the eyelets to achieve your desired fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Wally Braided shoes. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred cleaning method.
What is the 'easy-on system'?
The easy-on system refers to the shoe's design that allows for quick and effortless slipping on and off, facilitated by the flexible construction and elasticated laces.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the foam insole is designed to be removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics.
Do these shoes offer good traction?
The lightweight outsole provides adequate traction for everyday casual use on various surfaces.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of a durable, airy textile designed for breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the cotton laces. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are snug. If still too loose, consider the easy-on system's elasticity and your foot shape; sometimes a half-size down may be necessary for a snugger feel.
Insole feels uncomfortable or needs cleaning
Remove the foam insole by gently pulling it out. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry completely before reinserting. You can also replace it with your preferred custom insole.
Textile upper appears soiled
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
Shoes do not provide enough arch support
The Wally Braided features a removable insole. Consider purchasing and inserting an aftermarket arch support insert that fits your needs.
