FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the ALEYA series generally fits true to UK sizing standards.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Leather is naturally sensitive to excessive moisture. It is highly recommended to use a leather-appropriate water-repellent spray if you anticipate wet conditions.
How do I maintain the shine?
Regularly buff the leather with a soft cloth and apply a neutral or black leather polish to maintain the luster.
Are the insoles removable?
The ALEYA series typically features standard integrated insoles. Consult a cobbler if you require specialized orthotic inserts.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather takes slightly longer to break in, though it will stretch to accommodate your shape.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short durations indoors initially, or use a leather stretcher spray to speed up the softening process.
The shoes developed minor scuffs.
Use a high-quality black shoe cream or polish to touch up the affected areas and restore the deep black finish.
