FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
The HOLLIE series is designed for everyday wear and comfort, though they are primarily intended for urban environments rather than strenuous hiking or long-distance trekking.
How do I protect the suede from rain?
We recommend applying a high-quality, non-silicone water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first use.
Can I use standard shoe polish on these?
No, never use standard leather cream or polish on suede, as it will ruin the texture and cause permanent discoloration.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Vagabond Shoemakers generally follow standard sizing conventions; if you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snug or slightly roomier fit.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Surface dust or dry dirt on the suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt from the fibers using light, multidirectional strokes.
Water spots or light stains
Allow the area to dry completely, then use a suede eraser or a soft brush to restore the nap; avoid using water-based cleaners.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear
Suede typically softens and conforms to the foot over time; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes arrive ready to wear, no mechanical setup is required; however, applying a suede-specific protective spray before the first wear is highly recommended to create a barrier against dust and light moisture. Compatibility is broad, as the black hue and low-profile design integrate with almost any color palette in your closet. To care for your HOLLIE shoes, use a soft-bristled suede brush after each use to remove surface debris and maintain the plush texture of the material. Should the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to harden or shrink.
