FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh construction is breathable and not intended for wet or rainy conditions.
Can I wear these with socks?
While intended for direct contact with the foot, the mesh may reveal patterned socks if you choose to wear them.
What is the primary material?
The upper is primarily 90% polyamide mesh, with interior detailing composed of 100% lamb leather.
Is the sole slippery?
The flats feature a rubber sole designed to provide adequate traction on typical indoor and paved surfaces.
How do I ensure the right fit?
These shoes follow standard sizing; the adjustable buckle strap allows for fine-tuning the fit around the instep.
Troubleshooting
Strap buckle becomes stiff
Ensure no debris is lodged in the buckle mechanism and gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
Visible dust inside the mesh
Use a can of compressed air at a distance to gently blow debris out from between the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Alaïa flats maintain their form, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can affect the mesh integrity over time. When cleaning, avoid harsh brushes that may snag the polyamide mesh; instead, gently wipe the leather components with a soft, dry cloth. For the mesh areas, a very soft damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly. Always fasten the Mary Jane strap when not in use to maintain the tension of the buckle. These shoes are true to size and compatible with most medium-width foot profiles, but consider professional cleaning if they encounter significant soil.
