FAQs
How should I clean the tiger print hair-on material?
Gently brush the hair-on material with a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, use a specialized cleaner for hair-on or exotic leathers, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid saturating the material with water.
Will the tiger print pattern wear off?
The tiger print is part of the hair-on material itself, so it is generally durable. However, excessive abrasion could potentially affect the texture or appearance over time. Consistent care will help maintain the print.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the natural pebble crepe sole and moccasin construction are designed for comfort, making them suitable for all-day wear, especially on typical urban or indoor surfaces.
How do I care for the suede accents?
Use a suede brush to maintain the nap and remove light dirt. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used. Protect suede from water and heavy moisture.
What is the typical lifespan of a crepe sole?
The lifespan of a crepe sole depends on usage and environmental conditions. With regular wear on moderate surfaces and proper care, they can last for a considerable time. However, they are softer than rubber and may show wear more quickly on rough terrain.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet weather, as both the hair-on and suede materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. The crepe sole can also absorb water.
What does 'hair-on' material mean?
Hair-on material refers to leather that retains the natural hair of the animal. It's treated to be durable and is often used for its unique texture and aesthetic appeal, as seen in the tiger print on this Wallabee.
Troubleshooting
Hair-on material looks matted or dirty
Gently brush the hair-on material with a soft brush in the direction of the hair to restore its texture. For persistent dirt, use a specialized cleaner for hair-on or exotic leathers, following product instructions carefully.
Crepe sole feels sticky or shows wear
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. If the sole feels sticky, it might be due to exposure to heat or certain surfaces. For wear, the natural material may show signs of use over time, which is typical for crepe soles. Professional resoling might be an option for significant wear.
Laces are dirty or frayed
The black flat laces can be carefully hand-washed or replaced with similar flat laces. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.

Care Instructions:
- Hair-On Uppers: Due to the nature of the hair-on material, avoid excessive moisture. Clean gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, consider a specialized suede and hair-on cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
- Suede Detailing: Use a suede brush to maintain the nap and remove light dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede areas.
- Crepe Sole: Clean the crepe sole with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rubber. Over time, crepe soles may develop a slight yellowing or a darkening of the colour, which is natural.
