FAQs

How do I clean the Maison Margiela Tabi Babouches?

Clean with a soft cloth dampened with water. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for vegetable-tanned leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the split-toe design difficult to get used to?

The iconic split-toe is a signature design element that may require a brief adjustment period. Many find them comfortable once accustomed to the unique fit.

Can the heel be worn up or down?

Yes, the Tabi Babouches feature a collapsible/dual-wear soft heel, allowing you to wear them as a slip-on mule or a more traditional slipper style.

What material are the Tabi slippers made from?

The upper is typically made from 100% camel or calf leather, the lining from 100% lamb leather, and the sole from 100% calf leather, with a rubber contrast.

How should I store my Tabi slippers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using the provided dust bag can help protect them from dust and scratches.

Are these suitable for formal occasions?

While primarily designed for contemporary and smart-casual wear, their premium material and unique design can complement minimalist evening attire.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a neutral shoe polishing cream with a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb and then buff gently.

Creasing or scuff marks on the leather

Minor creases are a natural characteristic of leather. For scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product. Avoid excessive friction.

Split-toe feels uncomfortable

The split-toe design is unique and may require a short break-in period for your toes to adjust. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.

Sole appears worn

Leather soles can wear over time. Consult a professional cobbler for possible resoling or protective treatments.
