Vagabond Shoemakers ALEYA - Brown, Suede - UK 4.5

Thin to medium-weight socks, or no-show socks, are generally recommended to maintain the sleek profile of the shoe. Ensure socks are clean and dry to prevent moisture transfer to the suede.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain as the material can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection against light showers.

Apply a suede protector spray when the shoes are new, and reapply after cleaning or after exposure to significant moisture or dirt. A general guideline is every few months with regular wear.

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag. Using shoe trees helps maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture.

The ALEYA features an almond toe shape which can be more accommodating than a pointed toe, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet. If you have very wide feet, consider trying them on first or looking for styles with a wider fit.

It refers to a minimalist aesthetic, prioritizing clean lines, functionality, and natural materials. The ALEYA embodies this through its simple silhouette and focus on the quality of the suede.

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the material slightly.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, brush gently with a suede brush to restore the nap. If a stain persists, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for water marks.
