FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, they are designed for elegant everyday wear, offering comfort and style. However, due to the leather sole, it is recommended to be mindful of rough surfaces and wet conditions to ensure longevity.

How do I clean the fabric upper?

Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What is the best way to store these flats?

Store them in the provided dust bag and shoe box to protect them from dust, sunlight, and moisture when not in use.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these flats in heavy rain, as the leather components can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. Light, occasional dampness should be acceptable if dried immediately.

What does 'Made in Italy' signify for these shoes?

'Made in Italy' is a mark of quality craftsmanship, often associated with fine materials, attention to detail, and traditional shoemaking techniques.

Do these flats come in other colors or sizes?

This specific product is the beige, UK 8 size. Please refer to the product listing or other available variants for information on different sizes and colors offered by Alaia.

Troubleshooting

Buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten.

Gently work the buckle back and forth to loosen it. If it persists, a small amount of leather conditioner applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism might help.

Fabric upper appears scuffed or marked.

Try gently wiping the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Leather insole feels uncomfortable after initial wear.

Leather insoles often mold to the foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks or hosiery are not causing friction.

Slipping on smooth surfaces due to the leather sole.

Consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber protective sole layer to the bottom of the shoe for improved grip and wear resistance.
