How should I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid over-wetting the material and allow it to air dry.

Is this shoe suitable for all weather conditions?

The suede material is best suited for dry conditions. For wet or harsh weather, alternative footwear is recommended to protect the suede.

What is the classic silhouette of the Wallabee?

The Wallabee features an instantly recognizable moccasin-style silhouette that was first launched in 1964.

What does 'hand-stitched apron seam' mean?

This refers to a traditional shoemaking technique where a separate piece of leather is stitched onto the vamp of the shoe, creating a distinct seam detail.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, followed by air drying.

Shoes feel too tight

Allow for a natural break-in period as the suede and sole will adapt to your foot shape. You can also try wearing them with thicker socks initially.

Crepe sole shows signs of wear

Clean the sole with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a gentle scrubbing with a soft brush might help. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Water stains on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to try and lift the nap. Applying a suede protector is recommended for future prevention.
