FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are made of genuine leather, which is water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain.
How do I clean the braided detail?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the crevices and a soft cloth with leather cleaner for the surface.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The leather construction allows for some natural give, but Vagabond shoes are generally designed for standard widths.
Do I need to polish them?
You can use a neutral or black leather polish occasionally to maintain the shine and mask minor scuffs.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, they can be worn without socks, though we recommend no-show liners to manage moisture and prevent interior odor.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors with thicker socks to gently stretch and soften the leather.
Braided leather showing signs of drying
Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner specifically formulated for braided or woven leather goods.
Shoes feel too loose
Add a thin leather or foam insole insert to improve the fit and provide additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on or standard low shoes, there is no technical setup required. To ensure compatibility, verify your UK size against the standard Vagabond fit, which typically runs true-to-size. For care, use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt after each wear. Because the ALEYA features braided leather, it is highly recommended to use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the intricate leather strips hydrated and prevent them from becoming brittle. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the colour and material integrity.
