FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
While suede can be treated with a water-repellent spray, these shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended without proper, regular treatment.
How often should I clean my Aldwin Step shoes?
Regular brushing with a suede brush after wear helps maintain the nap and remove light dust. Deep cleaning or stain treatment should be done as needed, or after significant exposure to dirt or moisture.
Can I wear these shoes for formal events?
The Aldwin Step is a low shoe with a casual to smart-casual aesthetic. They are not typically considered suitable for formal events but work well for semi-formal or dress-casual occasions.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to help preserve their shape. Avoid storing in plastic, which can trap moisture.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight. There should be enough room in the toe box, and your heel should not slip excessively when walking. The UK 11 size is specific to this variant.
What other colors or sizes are available in the Aldwin Step series?
The Aldwin Step series is available in various sizes and colors. Please check the product listings for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider professional shoe stretching if the tightness persists and is significant.
Suede is wet.
Gently dab excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Color fading.
Protect shoes from prolonged direct sunlight. Consider using a suede colorant spray if the fading is significant, following product instructions carefully.
