FAQs

What materials are the ALOHAS Rife Trainers made from?

The trainers feature 100% suede uppers, 100% leather lining, 100% leather cushioning, and a 100% rubber sole.

How should I clean the forest green suede?

For routine cleaning, use a suede brush. For stains, apply a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

Are these trainers suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their 100% leather lining and cushioning, they are designed for comfort during moderate, everyday wear. However, like all shoes, comfort can vary by individual.

Where are these trainers manufactured?

The ALOHAS Rife Trainers are 'Made in Europe' and feature a 'Portugese-born style'.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Suede is generally not water-resistant. It's highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray before wearing them in wet conditions and avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage.

What kind of outfits do these trainers pair well with?

Their classic low-top style and refined forest green color make them versatile. They pair well casually with denim jumpsuits, co-ords, jeans, chinos, or even a casual dress for a smart-casual look.

How do I maintain the shape of the trainers?

To help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, consider using shoe trees or stuffing the trainers with paper when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the entire shoe with a suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For more stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.

Water spots or stains on suede.

Allow the trainers to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently rub the affected area. For severe water stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

These trainers feature a leather lining and cushioning, which may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Sole shows signs of premature wear.

While the rubber sole is durable, excessive friction or specific terrain can accelerate wear. Avoid dragging your feet and consider adding protective sole inserts if walking on harsh surfaces frequently. Regular cleaning of the sole can also extend its life.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.

Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing shoe inserts or a shoe freshener. The leather lining is breathable, but proper ventilation is key.

Care Instructions:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality `suede protector spray` to guard against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a `suede brush` to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks, use a `suede eraser` or a specialized `suede cleaner` designed for forest green colored suede. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Drying: If wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff with paper to help maintain shape.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture.
