FAQs
How do I clean the 'Tiger Print' hair-on material?
Gently brush the hair-on sections with a soft suede brush. For more persistent dirt, use a specialized cleaner designed for hair-on or exotic leathers, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the material.
What is the best way to care for the crepe sole?
The natural crepe sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used. Avoid exposing the sole to excessive heat or solvents, which can cause degradation or stickiness.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Wallabee is designed for comfort and durability, making it suitable for everyday casual wear. However, the natural crepe sole and premium upper materials may require more careful wear in harsh conditions.
What does the 'Tiger Print' signify?
The 'Tiger Print' is a seasonal pattern from the AW25 'Hair-On' collection, offering a bold animalistic aesthetic. It's a contemporary update on the classic Wallabee silhouette.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the product's sizing guide, which typically aligns with standard UK adult foot sizing. For this specific model, the size is listed as UK 9.5.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain. The suede and hair-on materials can be damaged by excessive water, and the crepe sole offers less traction on very wet surfaces. Using a protector spray is recommended.
What is the main benefit of the Wallabee design?
The Wallabee's key benefit is its iconic, comfortable moccasin construction combined with a distinctive style that has cultural significance, offering both a fashion statement and enduring comfort.
Troubleshooting
Crepe sole appears to be 'sweating' or becoming sticky
This is a natural characteristic of crepe rubber, especially in warm conditions. Allow the shoes to air out in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat.
Suede or hair-on material getting wet
Blot away excess moisture immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap.
Discoloration on the 'Tiger Print' pattern
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. For minor marks, a gentle suede brush may suffice. For deeper issues, consult a professional shoe care specialist.
Shoes feel stiff initially
The premium materials may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot's shape.
