FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for heavy snow conditions?
While designed for winter, the Walla Yukoner offers good protection against light snow and wet conditions due to its Scotch grain leather and robust sole. For deep snow or icy conditions, consider additional waterproofing and traction aids if necessary.
How do I clean the Scotch grain leather?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. For stains, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Always allow the leather to air dry naturally and away from heat sources. A dedicated leather protector spray can help maintain its condition.
What is the main difference between this and the original Wallabee™?
The main difference is the addition of a modern, chunky XL EXTRALIGHT® sole for enhanced stability and cushioning, making it more suitable for colder, wetter conditions, while retaining the classic Wallabee™ upper silhouette.
Are the key ring fobs detachable?
Yes, the key ring fobs are designed to be attached to your keys or bag and are detachable from the shoe's laces.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made from XL EXTRALIGHT® foam and rubber, providing an ultra-lightweight yet stable and cushioned experience.
Does the shoe come in other colors?
This specific model is the 'Black Scotch Grain' version. Other colorways or variations of the Walla Yukoner or Wallabee™ may be available separately.
How should I size this shoe?
The Walla Yukoner generally fits true to size. It is recommended to consult a sizing guide or try them on if possible. Given its heritage, it offers a classic fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing during break-in.
Natural leather will crease with wear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Slight stiffness in the leather.
This is common with premium grain leather. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for this type of finish after initial break-in to soften the material.
Sole feels bulky.
The XL EXTRALIGHT® sole is designed to be visually substantial but remains ultra-lightweight. This is an intentional design feature for stability and cushioning. Allow time to adapt to the feel.
