FAQs
What is the best way to clean the tumbled leather?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for tumbled leather, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
How should I care for the crepe sole?
The crepe sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the material. Crepe soles are prone to picking up dirt and can wear down over time with regular use.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee generally has a medium width. While the leather will break in and conform to your foot over time, if you typically require a wide fit, it's advisable to try them on first to assess comfort.
What is the 'Somerset heritage' mentioned?
This refers to the brand's origins and deep roots in Somerset, England, reflecting a long history of shoemaking and craftsmanship.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated, the Wallabee is not primarily designed for wet conditions. Heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and stain the crepe sole. It's best to wear them in dry or moderately damp weather.
What does 'MPN' stand for?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number, a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific product.
How do the ribbon laces differ from standard laces?
Ribbon laces offer a softer texture and a slightly different aesthetic compared to traditional shoelaces, contributing to the Wallabee's distinctive look.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs easily.
Apply a leather conditioner regularly and consider using a protective spray. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth.
Crepe sole is dirty or stained.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized crepe rubber cleaner might be necessary.
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Leather will soften and stretch slightly with wear, but if they are significantly too small, consider if they are the correct size.
Water damage to leather.
If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
