Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Alaïa Laced Ballerinas, consistent maintenance is key. Since the exterior is suede, use a soft-bristle brush regularly to remove surface dust and dirt. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or shrink. For storage, use shoe trees or acid-free tissue paper to help the shoes retain their shape. These shoes are standard fit and compatible with most professional and casual wardrobes, though the lacing allows for minor adjustments if you prefer a tighter or looser hold on the bridge of the foot.
