Product Information
Full details
The Alaïa Laced Ballerinas are designed for the modern adult woman seeking a sophisticated, fashion-forward alternative to standard flats. These Italian-crafted shoes provide a blend of comfort and structural elegance through their unique square-toe design and high-quality construction, though users should be aware that the intricate lace-up system requires more time to adjust and secure than slip-on styles.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, the square toe offers a slightly different internal volume compared to round toes.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While the rubber sole provides good grip, the fabric and leather upper should be protected from excess moisture to avoid staining.
How do I secure the lace-up closure?
Thread the laces through the provided eyelets and adjust the tension across your instep before securing with a firm bow.
Where are these ballerinas manufactured?
These shoes are expertly crafted in Italy.
How should I clean the leather parts?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deep cleaning, use a mild leather cleanser, but test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure you are using a double-knot when tying the laces to provide extra friction and prevent slippage.
Leather accents losing luster
Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream using a soft cloth and buff gently to restore the original finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Alaïa Laced Ballerinas, start by loosening the laces fully before sliding your foot in to prevent strain on the eyelets. When tightening, pull the laces evenly to maintain the symmetry of the square toe. Because the shoe contains both leather and fabric components, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the fabric parts. For the orange leather accents, use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to prevent cracking or fading. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree if possible to maintain the square-toe shape when not in use.
