FAQs

What material are these flats made of?

The flats are crafted from a combination of beige paper straw for the upper and lambskin leather for the lining, trim, and insole. The sole is made of leather with a rubber layer.

How should I clean my Alaia flats?

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and let them air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable buckle fastening allows for some customization of the fit. However, the overall shape is a classic almond toe, which might not suit very wide feet without a break-in period.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet conditions. The paper straw material is sensitive to moisture, and the leather soles can become slippery.

What is included with the purchase?

The shoes come with a dust bag and a shoe box for protection and storage.

Where are these shoes made?

These Alaia flats are proudly made in Italy, reflecting high standards of craftsmanship.

How do I adjust the straps?

The straps feature a buckle fastening. You can adjust them by loosening or tightening the buckle to achieve your desired fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to gradually mold them to your feet. The leather lining will soften over time.

Slipping on smooth or wet surfaces.

Consider adding a thin rubber sole protector or heel grips, available from shoe repair shops. Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris.

Minor scuffs or marks on the paper straw or leather.

Gently buff with a soft, dry cloth. For leather, a leather conditioner specifically designed for beige or neutral leathers can be used sparingly. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Straps feel loose or too tight.

Adjust the buckle fastening to find the most secure and comfortable position. Ensure the buckle is properly engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

These shoes require no complex setup. They are ready to wear upon arrival. Compatibility is broad, as they are designed to complement a wide range of adult female wardrobes.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather and paper straw components with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the flats in the provided dust bag and shoe box when not in use to protect them from dust and damage. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Leather Soles: To enhance grip and protect the leather sole, consider having a protective rubber sole or heel protector fitted by a professional cobbler, especially if you anticipate wearing them in wet conditions.
  • Water Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as paper straw can be sensitive to moisture. If they get wet, stuff them with tissue paper and allow them to dry naturally away from heat.
