FAQs
How should I choose my size?
ALOHAS shoes generally fit true to size. However, if you find yourself between two sizes, we recommend opting for the smaller size for a snugger fit.
What material are the Tb.490 shoes made of?
These shoes are crafted from premium suede with delicate crochet edging and feature durable rubber soles.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and leave stains. It's best to protect them with a suede protector spray and avoid rain.
How do I clean the crochet edging?
For the crochet edging, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean away any surface dust or dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the difference between the two sets of laces?
One set is standard classic laces, and the other set is designed to be tied in decorative bows, adding a more romantic or formal touch to the shoes.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
These are primarily casual to smart-casual shoes. While they can be dressed up, they are not typically suited for very formal occasions.
How often should I use a suede protector spray?
Apply a suede protector spray when you first purchase the shoes and reapply every few months, or after cleaning, to maintain their protective qualities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
If you are between sizes, the recommendation is to choose the smaller size. If the shoes are slightly too snug, wearing them with thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher can help. If they are too loose, thicker socks might provide a better fit.
Suede appears matted or dull.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and restore its texture. Brush in one direction consistently.
Water stains or scuffs on the suede.
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede eraser to gently rub out marks. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
