FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
These are primarily casual shoes. While their iconic design can elevate a smart-casual look, they are not typically suitable for formal events.
How should I clean the blue and green striped pattern?
The pattern is part of the suede. Clean the entire shoe with a suede brush and eraser, being careful not to saturate any part with water.
What type of socks are best to wear with these?
Socks that match the shoe's color family or are neutral are generally best. Ensure socks are colorfast to prevent any potential dye transfer.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in the rain, as water can damage the material and cause staining. Use a suede protector spray for some water resistance.
What is the typical fit of a Wallabee?
Wallabees generally offer a comfortable, true-to-size fit for most. However, individuals with wider feet might find them snug initially.
How durable is the crepe sole?
The crepe sole is known for its comfort and grip but can wear down over time with extensive use, particularly on abrasive surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush and eraser. For persistent stains, consult a professional cleaner experienced with suede.
Shoes feel too tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. If uncomfortably tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing thicker socks for a short period.
Color transfer from the suede
This is rare but can happen if the suede is wet or heavily dyed. Ensure socks are colorfast and avoid wearing in wet conditions until the shoes are broken in or treated with a protector.
