FAQs
What materials are the ALOHAS TB490 Club Sneakers made from?
These sneakers are crafted from a combination of soft brown suede for the fold-over tongue and premium cream and brown calf hair for the main upper, complemented by a durable rubber sole.
How do I properly clean the suede and calf hair parts of the sneakers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser, followed by a protectant spray. For calf hair, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth in the direction of the hair. Always allow to air dry naturally and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these sneakers suitable for all weather conditions?
Due to the delicate nature of suede and calf hair, these sneakers are best suited for dry weather conditions. Avoid heavy rain or excessively wet environments to prevent damage and maintain their appearance.
Are the ALOHAS TB490 Club Sneakers true to size?
ALOHAS generally designs its footwear to be true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing customer feedback or sizing guides on the brand's official website if available. Info needed: Specific sizing advice if available.
What kind of outfits pair well with these sneakers?
These versatile low-top sneakers can elevate a variety of looks. They pair excellently with casual attire like jeans and t-shirts, smart-casual ensembles such as tailored trousers or skirts, and fashion-forward outfits where you want to make a statement.
Can the maxi fold-over tongue be worn differently?
The maxi suede tongue is designed to be folded over, contributing to the unique 'Club' look. While it offers a distinctive style, its primary intended wear is in the folded position, which is secured by the laces. Adjusting the laces can help manage its placement.
Troubleshooting
Suede or calf hair appears dirty or dull.
For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser. For calf hair, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth in the direction of the hair. Apply a protectant spray for future prevention.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace-up closure. Ensure laces are evenly tightened or loosened across the foot for optimal comfort.
Maxi tongue doesn't stay in preferred folded position.
Ensure laces are tight enough to help hold the tongue in place. You can also wear socks that extend higher to provide a base for the tongue to rest against.
Creases forming on the upper material.
This is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing the sneakers. Clean and condition materials regularly to maintain suppleness.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure soles are clean of debris. The rubber sole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions (e.g., highly polished, wet floors) can still pose a risk. Exercise caution on such surfaces.

Care Instructions
Maintaining the premium materials of your ALOHAS TB490 Club Sneakers is crucial for their longevity and appearance.
- Suede Care:
- Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction.
- For tougher spots, use a suede eraser to rub away marks.
- Apply a suede protectant spray regularly (following product instructions) to repel water and stains.
- Avoid getting suede wet. If it does get wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush gently.
- Calf Hair Care:
- Gently wipe calf hair with a clean, damp cloth in the direction of the hair to remove surface dirt.
- For dried mud or more stubborn dirt, allow it to dry completely, then use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing, which can damage the hair.
- Rubber Sole Care:
- Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap or a dedicated shoe sole cleaner.
- Use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean crevices if needed.
- Storage: Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing to extreme heat or harsh chemicals.
