FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of nubuck with a unique chalk effect finish.
What type of sole does this shoe have?
These shoes feature a flexible Para sole.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the flexible sole and durable build make them comfortable for everyday wear and walking moderate distances.
How do I clean the chalk effect finish?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For more stubborn marks, a specialized nubuck cleaner may be used sparingly. Avoid excessive water.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
Nubuck is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and staining.
What does 'Wallabee Cup' refer to?
The 'Cup' likely refers to the low-profile cup design of the sole, which offers a cleaner, more modern aesthetic compared to traditional Wallabee constructions.
Does this shoe come with extra laces?
Yes, the product description mentions that additional laces are included.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Nubuck can be stiff when new. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Chalk effect finish is uneven or wearing off
This is a stylistic finish. If it appears uneven, try gently brushing the entire shoe with a suede brush. If it is wearing off significantly, it indicates wear and tear; consider specialized nubuck refinishing products if desired, or embrace the natural evolution of the finish.
Difficulty lacing the shoes
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets smoothly. If they snag, check for any fraying or damage to the laces themselves.

Care:
