FAQs
How do I clean the suede uppers?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the suede.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for very wet conditions. Excessive moisture can stain and damage the material. It is best to wear these in dry or mildly damp weather.
What are the two sets of laces for?
The shoes come with a set of white laces and a set of matching striped laces. This allows you to customize the look of your Wallabees to complement different outfits or personal preferences.
How durable is the crepe sole?
The natural pebble crepe sole is known for its comfort and flexibility. It is durable for everyday wear but can be sensitive to extreme heat, prolonged sunlight, and certain chemicals, which may affect its appearance and longevity.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store your Wallabees in a cool, dry place, ideally away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape over time.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
These shoes are best suited for casual and smart-casual wear. The bold stripe pattern and suede material make them a stylish choice for informal settings but not typically for formal events.
What UK size do these shoes come in?
This specific guide details the UK size 8. The Wallabee series is available in a range of UK adult male sizes.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Crepe sole feels sticky or looks discolored.
Crepe can be sensitive to heat and certain substances. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat sources. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
Laces are worn or need replacing.
Use the included alternative laces or purchase new laces of a similar type and length. Ensure they are threaded correctly through the eyelets.
Sizing feels slightly off.
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Suede can stretch slightly over time. If the fit is significantly uncomfortable, consider an insole or consult with the retailer about exchange options.
