FAQs
How do I clean the tumbled leather upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Then, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material soft.
Is the natural crepe sole slippery?
The natural crepe sole provides good grip on most dry surfaces. However, it may be less effective on very wet, polished, or icy surfaces compared to rubber outsoles. Exercise caution in such conditions.
How should I store my Wallabees?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and keeping them in their original box or a breathable dust bag is recommended.
What is the best way to care for the ribbon laces?
The ribbon laces can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth or a very mild detergent. If they become damaged or excessively worn, they can be replaced.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can affect the leather and the crepe sole. Ensure they dry naturally away from direct heat if they get wet.
What is the expected lifespan of the crepe sole?
The lifespan of the crepe sole depends on wear frequency and the surfaces they are used on. With proper care and regular cleaning, it is designed to be durable.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure consistent, appropriate cleaning and conditioning.
Crepe sole is dirty and difficult to clean
Use a specialized crepe rubber cleaner or a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a soft brush might help. Avoid excessive water.
Laces are frayed or dirty
Clean the ribbon laces with mild soap and water, or replace them if they are significantly damaged.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit.
