FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, they are designed for everyday walking and offer excellent support, though they are categorized as fashion shoes rather than athletic footwear.
Do I need to spray these shoes with a water repellent?
It is recommended to use a leather-safe water-repellent spray to protect against light moisture, but avoid excessive soaking.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing; it is best to compare against your current comfortable leather shoe size.
Can I replace the insoles?
While the shoes are designed for comfort, we recommend using only thin, flat inserts if you choose to swap the original ones to maintain the interior fit.
Are these shoes ethically produced?
Vagabond Shoemakers focuses on long-term sustainability and quality, using durable materials meant to last for seasons, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight during the first few wears
Leather will naturally soften and stretch to the shape of your foot; wear them for short durations indoors to break them in gradually.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather
Use a matching brown leather cream or polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the surface finish.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a specialized leather moisturizer to nourish the hide and restore its natural luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon purchasing, ensure you select the correct size (e.g., UK 6) for your foot. To maintain the life of your ALEYA shoes, it is recommended to use a shoe horn when putting them on to protect the heel counter.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly wipe down the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Use a cedar shoe tree if possible to help the shoes retain their shape and absorb moisture after a full day of wear.
