FAQs
What is the best way to clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for black leather and buff with a dry cloth.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try the shoes on indoors on a carpeted surface. The lace-up detail allows for some adjustment, but the initial fit should be snug without being painful. Allow for a break-in period.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or puddles, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and sole.
What kind of outfits do these shoes complement?
The ALOHAS Bumi Ballerinas are highly versatile and pair well with a variety of outfits, including dresses, skirts, tailored trousers, and denim.
Is the leather sole durable for everyday walking?
The leather sole provides a classic look and feel, suitable for moderate city walking. For very heavy use or rough terrains, adding a protective rubber sole might be beneficial.
What does 'stitched profiles' mean?
'Stitched profiles' refers to the visible stitching around the edges of the shoe, contributing to its construction, durability, and aesthetic detailing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods to allow the leather to naturally stretch and conform to your feet. Consider using a shoe stretcher or thicker socks when wearing them around the house to aid the breaking-in process.
Laces become undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot. If the laces are slippery, consider replacing them with a pair that has more texture or grip.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a black shoe polish or cream that matches the leather color, applying sparingly and buffing gently.
Leather sole shows signs of wear
Avoid excessive walking on rough or abrasive surfaces. For added durability and grip, consider having a cobbler add a thin protective rubber sole layer.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather may be used sparingly, followed by buffing with a dry cloth.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent cracking, apply a leather conditioner suitable for calfskin leather every few months, especially in dry climates.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
