FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The unstructured design and soft leather offer some flexibility. However, they are designed to fit true to size and may not be ideal for very wide feet without a breaking-in period.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and soles.
What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on exchanges and returns due to sizing issues. ALOHAS generally recommends sizing down if you are between sizes.
How do I clean the delicate bow?
The bow is made of leather and can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturating it with water. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Do these ballet flats offer arch support?
These are unstructured ballet flats and do not feature built-in arch support. They prioritize flexibility and a natural foot feel.
How long does the leather typically take to break in?
Leather can vary. Most users find them comfortable from the first wear, but they will continue to mold to your foot over the first few wears, becoming even more comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight on first wear
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If you are between sizes, consider the sizing recommendation to opt for the smaller size.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or on the seams where the squeak originates. Ensure the soles are dry.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather and follow product instructions. A leather conditioner can help restore moisture and minor color variations.
