FAQs
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the product sizing chart or compare with other Maison Margiela footwear you own. Generally, the Tabi Moccasins run true to size, but the split-toe might affect the feel. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
Can the Tabi Moccasins be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, it is not recommended for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and sole. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the difference between Tabi Babouches and Tabi Moccasins?
While often used interchangeably, 'Babouche' typically refers to a backless slipper style, whereas 'Moccasin' implies a closed back. The Tabi Babouches in the Maison Margiela line often feature a dual-wear heel, allowing them to be worn as either.
How should I clean the inside lining?
The lining is typically 100% lamb leather. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the interior gently. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents. Allow the interior to air dry completely before wearing.
Is the split-toe design comfortable for everyone?
The split-toe is a unique feature that can take some getting used to. While many find it comfortable and secure once adjusted, individual foot shapes and preferences vary. It's advisable to try them on to gauge personal comfort.
What does the numbering on the sole signify?
The numbers on the sole refer to Maison Margiela's internal product and sizing system. It serves as a mark of authenticity and an identifier for the specific model and size.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort with the split-toe
The split-toe design can take time to adjust to. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure correct sizing, as an improper fit can exacerbate discomfort.
Leather appears dry or dull
The camel leather may require conditioning. Use a specialized leather balm or conditioner designed for fine leathers, applying sparingly with a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb before buffing.
Soles showing wear
The calf leather sole is durable but can wear with frequent use. Consider having a cobbler apply a protective rubber sole or heel taps if significant wear is anticipated.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and use shoe trees for storage to help maintain their shape.

Care Instructions:
