Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
Simply lace up your Wallabee Boots to a comfortable tightness. The flat lacing allows for a secure fit. While the suede is soft, some individuals might experience a slight break-in period as the boot conforms to their foot shape. We recommend wearing them for shorter periods initially to ensure maximum comfort.
Compatibility
These black suede Wallabee Boots pair well with a wide range of attire, from casual denim and corduroys to more structured chinos and even some tailored wool trousers. Their classic design allows them to complement both modern and vintage-inspired looks.
Care & Maintenance
Maintaining the pristine look of your Wallabee Boots requires specific attention to the suede upper and crepe sole:
- Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to wet conditions.
- Regular Cleaning (Suede): Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a damp cloth with specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions.
- Drying Suede: If your boots get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the suede.
- Crepe Sole Cleaning: The crepe sole is prone to picking up dirt and debris. To clean, gently rub the sole with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush, or use a specialized crepe sole cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store your Wallabee Boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use for extended periods.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing the boots to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
