FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The round-toe design is generally accommodating, but because they feature a structured lace-up closure, those with very wide feet may need to adjust the lacing significantly.
Where are these shoes made?
These Alaïa ballet flats are proudly made in Italy.
Can I replace the laces if they break?
Yes, you can replace them with similar high-quality ribbon or cord laces, though it is recommended to seek official replacements to maintain the original look.
Are these flats comfortable for walking all day?
Yes, thanks to the leather insole and rubber sole, they offer more support than most fashion-forward flats, though they are intended primarily for urban walking rather than athletic use.
How do I maintain the black fabric?
Keep the fabric clean by brushing off debris regularly and avoiding contact with abrasive surfaces that could pull the weave.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming loose while walking
Ensure you are using a double knot when securing the laces to provide extra friction and prevent slippage during movement.
Minor scuffs on orange leather detailing
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, clean cloth; for deeper marks, use a small amount of leather-safe cleaning cream.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Alaïa flats maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Adjust the laces while sitting to ensure the pressure is evenly distributed across the top of the foot.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black fabric from fading and the orange leather from cracking.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from the fabric upper. For the leather details, use a specialized leather conditioner applied sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain, as the fabric upper is not treated for deep moisture resistance.
