Product Information
Full details
The Oliver Sweeney Avalle is an ideal choice for the adult male seeking a blend of sophisticated style and casual comfort, handcrafted in a specialist Spanish moccasin factory. Its primary benefit is the exceptional flexibility and lightweight feel provided by the unique moccasin construction, which removes the need for a stiff insole board. Please note that as a suede-based driving shoe, it is best suited for dry conditions and moderate walking rather than heavy-duty outdoor use.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
They are perfect for light walking, such as social gatherings or light urban commutes. However, they are not designed for long-distance walking on harsh surfaces.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove debris. Avoid getting them soaking wet, as water can damage the texture of the suede.
Is the leather lining breathable?
Yes, the full calf leather lining allows for natural breathability, which helps manage moisture during extended wear.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the interior is fully lined with soft calf leather, making them comfortable for sockless wear in warm weather.
Do I need to treat the suede with a protector?
Yes, applying a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray is recommended before your first wear to protect the material from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap of the leather in one direction.
Minor scuffs on the suede
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the affected area until the mark dissipates.
Foot feels slightly loose
Adjust the decorative suede lacing to better secure the shoe around your instep.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box, as the flexible construction requires no lengthy break-in period.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust after each use.
- Keep away from water and damp environments; if they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Apply a suede-specific protective spray periodically to help repel stains.
- Store in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to maintain the shape of the moccasin silhouette.
