Vagabond Shoemakers ALEYA - Low Shoes - Brown Suede - Size 3.5 UK

The ALEYA model is designed with a standard fit. If you have wider feet, they might feel snug initially. Wearing them with thinner socks or having them professionally stretched could improve comfort.

It's recommended to apply suede protector spray upon first use and reapply every few months, or after the shoes have been exposed to wet conditions or significant dirt.

While suede can be treated for water resistance, it is generally not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain. Light, infrequent exposure to dampness is manageable with proper care, but prolonged wetness can damage the material.

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag. Using shoe trees made of cedar or plastic can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

Allow the mud to dry completely first. Once dry, gently brush off the dried mud with a suede brush. For any remaining marks, carefully use a suede eraser.

The product information does not specify the sole material, but it is designed for durability and traction suitable for everyday wear.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow them to gently stretch. Avoid prolonged wear until comfortable. Consider a professional shoe stretcher if the fit remains too tight.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a waterproofing spray for future protection.

This can occasionally happen with dyed suede, especially when new or wet. Ensure the shoes are fully dry. If persistent, a suede sealant might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
