Your Wallabee Boots arrive ready to wear. Simply unlace, insert your foot, and lace them up to a comfortable fit. The flat lacing ensures a snug feel. For optimal compatibility, these boots pair well with a wide range of clothing, from denim and corduroys to smarter wool trousers. The black suede provides a neutral yet distinct base for many color palettes.
Care Instructions for Suede & Crepe Sole:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. This helps protect against moisture and dirt.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Moisture Exposure: Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Crepe Sole Care: The natural crepe sole can pick up dirt and may darken over time. Gently clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, being careful not to get soap on the suede. For tougher marks, specialized crepe sole cleaners are available. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the natural rubber.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
