FAQs

What is the primary material of the ALOHAS TB.490 Club trainers?

The trainers feature a soft suede upper in a grey colorway.

How do these trainers fit regarding sizing?

The shoes are reported to fit normally. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to choose the smaller size.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

While they have a rubber sole for traction, their design is primarily for casual and fashion wear, inspired by classic sports aesthetics rather than high-performance athletic use.

How should I clean the suede material?

Regular brushing with a suede brush is recommended. For stains, use a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner, and protect with a suede protector spray. Avoid soaking the material.

What does the 'TB.490 Club' in the name signify?

This likely refers to the model or series name, with 'Club' suggesting a classic or lifestyle-oriented design, and the number possibly referencing a specific style code or inspiration.

What are the contrasting finishes made of?

The description mentions contrasting finishes in dark grey, which likely complement the main grey suede upper, enhancing the visual appeal.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain as the material can be damaged. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection, but they are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Suede scuffs or stains easily

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional cleaner specializing in suede or use a dedicated suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent future stains.

Tongue feels stiff or awkward

The long tongue is a design feature. Wear the trainers for a few days to allow the suede to soften and conform to your foot. You can also try gently folding the tongue back while wearing them initially.

Sizing feels too snug/loose

If you are between sizes, the recommendation is to choose the smaller size. If the trainers feel too tight, ensure socks are not too thick. If they feel loose, consider using insoles or thicker socks. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for detailed measurements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Brush Regularly: Use a soft suede brush to remove surface dirt and maintain the nap of the material.
  2. Protect from Water: Avoid wearing in heavy rain. Consider a suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a specialized suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Always allow the suede to air dry completely.
