FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for all genders?

Yes, the ALOHAS Rife Sneakers are designed as a unisex style, suitable for both men and women.

How do I choose the correct size?

These sneakers are listed in UK sizing. It's recommended to consult the brand's official size guide if you are unsure or compare it to other UK-sized footwear you own.

Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede and calf hair are delicate materials that can be easily damaged by water. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, but complete waterproofing is not guaranteed.

How often should I clean them?

Regular light brushing after each wear will help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning or stain removal should be done as needed, following the care instructions carefully.

What kind of socks should I wear with these?

Due to their low-top silhouette and comfortable design, they pair well with no-show socks for a sleek look, or classic ankle socks for added comfort.

Are replacement laces available?

Info needed: Check with ALOHAS customer service or authorized retailers for replacement lace availability and specifications.

Troubleshooting

Suede or calf hair appears matted or dull

Gently brush the affected area with a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and natural texture. For calf hair, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth in the direction of the hair.

Water spots or stains appear after exposure to moisture

Allow the sneakers to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede eraser or a soft brush to gently lift the stain. If persistent, a specialized suede cleaner may be required.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure you are tying your laces with a secure knot, such as a double knot. You may also consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip.

General dirt accumulation

For surface dirt, use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove particles. For more stubborn dirt, follow the spot cleaning instructions using appropriate suede/leather cleaning products.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your calf hair and suede sneakers.

  1. Protect Before Wear: Before the first use, apply a high-quality suede and leather protectant spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Calf Hair Care: Gently wipe calf hair with a damp cloth in the direction of the hair to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh rubbing.
  5. Avoid Moisture: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and air dry away from direct heat.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
