FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

ALOHAS Rife Trainers are generally true to size. We recommend referring to the official ALOHAS size guide for precise measurements to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Due to their suede construction, these trainers are not designed for wet weather. Exposure to rain or excessive moisture can damage the suede and potentially cause staining. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray for suede to offer some protection against light moisture, but heavy rain should be avoided.

How do I clean the white accents?

For white accents (like the sole edge or stitching), a mild soap solution on a soft cloth or a sneaker cleaning wipe can be used. Avoid getting cleaning agents on the suede. For the rubber sole, a damp cloth or soft brush is usually sufficient.

What is the best way to store my suede trainers?

Store your suede trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper will help maintain their shape and prevent creasing. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust.

Is the leather lining breathable?

Yes, the 100% leather lining offers good breathability compared to synthetic materials, contributing to overall foot comfort and helping to manage moisture during wear.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

While the trainers feature a classic low-top design and a lace-up fastening that allows for some adjustability, specific information on width fit is not provided. If you typically require wide-fit footwear, it is advisable to consult the brand's sizing recommendations or customer reviews for insights on fit.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks flattened or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to lift dirt and restore the texture.

Water spots on suede

Allow the trainers to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently buff out the water marks. For stubborn spots, a very light application of distilled water followed by immediate drying with a clean cloth and brushing can help.

Trainers feel stiff initially

The leather lining and suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, and they will gradually conform to your foot shape for enhanced comfort.

Scuff marks appear on the suede

Gently rub a suede eraser over the scuff mark. If unavailable, a clean pencil eraser can be used with light pressure. Follow up with a suede brush to smooth the nap.

Initial Care

  1. Suede Protector: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.

Daily Wear & Maintenance

  1. Avoid Wet Conditions: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing these trainers in rain, snow, or excessively wet environments.
  2. Regular Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt after each wear, restoring the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth (with water only, no harsh chemicals) and gently blot the stain. Allow to air dry naturally.
  4. Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully.
  5. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff them with acid-free paper to help maintain their shape.
