FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Alaïa Lace-up Ballet Flats generally follow standard sizing; however, since leather naturally stretches, they should feel snug but not tight upon first wear.

Can I replace the laces if they wear out?

Yes, the laces can generally be replaced with ribbons of similar weight and width if they fray over time.

Are these suitable for long-distance walking?

While they feature a durable rubber sole for city environments, they are designed as fashion flats and may lack the orthopaedic support of dedicated walking shoes.

How should I clean the leather?

Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth, never directly to the shoe.

Can these be worn in the rain?

It is recommended to avoid heavy rain as prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and the integrity of the laces.

What is the primary material used?

These flats are constructed using premium leather for the upper and a durable rubber for the sole.

Troubleshooting

Ribbons slipping during wear

Ensure a double knot is used when tying the laces around the ankle for added security.

Scuffs on leather surface

Use a high-quality leather conditioner or neutral cream to buff out minor surface marks.

Stiffness when new

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to the shape of your foot.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Alaïa flats maintain their form, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather over time. When lacing the flats, ensure the ribbons are not twisted to prevent premature wear on the fabric. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. For cleaning, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe down the leather sections; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
