FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ALEYA low shoes are designed with a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to check customer reviews for specific feedback on width or consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain as water can stain and damage the material. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
How often should I clean my suede shoes?
Regular brushing after each wear can help maintain the appearance. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions, typically needed as issues arise rather than on a fixed schedule.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree helps maintain their shape, and keeping them in a dust bag prevents them from getting dusty.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
The product information indicates this specific model is in a brown suede. Please refer to the Vagabond Shoemakers ALEYA collection for other available colorways and styles.
How do I break in new suede shoes?
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften and mold to your feet. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also help prevent blisters.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in one direction to restore the nap and texture.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Using a shoe tree can also help maintain shape.
Water spots on suede
Lightly dampen the entire shoe with a fine mist of water using a spray bottle, then blot with a sponge or cloth. Allow to air dry completely, then brush to restore the nap.
Difficulty finding the right size
Consult the brand's size chart or measure your foot length from heel to toe. If between sizes, consider the option that seems most appropriate for your foot width or consult reviews.

Care Instructions:
- Suede Care: Suede is a delicate material. Use a suede brush regularly to remove dust and dirt and to maintain the nap of the material.
- Stain Removal: For minor stains, allow them to dry first, then gently brush with a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and reapply periodically. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
