FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Wally Braided features a standard fitting. While they offer a comfortable, foot-hugging feel, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size guides carefully.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Wally Braided shoes. Handwashing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.
How do I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed to be removable. Simply slide your heel out to lift the insole, and then insert a new one, ensuring it lies flat and fits snugly within the shoe.
What is the heel height?
The heel height for the Wally Braided is approximately 30mm.
Are the laces adjustable?
The Wally Braided features elastic laces as part of an easy-on system, designed for slip-on convenience. They are not intended for traditional lacing adjustment but provide a secure fit through their elasticity.
How durable is the polyester upper?
Polyester is a durable synthetic material known for its resistance to stretching and shrinking. It offers good longevity for casual wear when properly cared for according to cleaning instructions.
Are these good for walking long distances?
The Wally Braided provides good comfort and cushioning for everyday walking and light activities due to its lightweight EVA sole and flexible design. For extensive or strenuous walking, consider shoes specifically designed for hiking or running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing them without overly thick socks. The shoe may also require a brief break-in period. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider if this standard fitting suits your foot width.
Difficulty slipping shoes on or off
Gently pull the heel tab while sliding your foot in or out. Ensure the elastic laces are not overly taut; they are designed to flex.
Faint odor developing
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure they are aired out after each wear.
Scuff marks on the sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently scrub away scuff marks from the EVA sole.
