FAQs

How do I best clean the suede upper?

For daily maintenance, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For spots or scuffs, gently use a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede cleaning products should be used following their instructions. Always pre-treat with a protective spray.

Are these ALOHAS Rife Trainers suitable for all weather conditions?

No, due to the suede upper, these trainers are not designed for wet weather conditions. Suede is sensitive to water and can stain. We strongly recommend applying a protective spray to help repel moisture and avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow.

What is the benefit of the 100% leather lining?

The 100% leather lining provides enhanced breathability, comfort, and durability compared to synthetic alternatives. It helps to wick away moisture, keeping your feet drier and more comfortable, and conforms to your foot over time for a personalized fit.

Do these trainers run true to size?

ALOHAS trainers generally run true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider reviewing specific sizing charts if available, or ordering the larger size.

Can I use these trainers for running or sports activities?

These ALOHAS Rife Trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for high-impact sports, running, or athletic training. Their construction and materials are optimized for style and everyday comfort.

How should I store my trainers when not in use?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb any residual moisture from wear, prolonging their life.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or matted down.

Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush. Brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore its texture. For deeper matting, a suede eraser can help.

Water spots or light stains appear on the suede.

Allow the trainers to dry naturally if wet. For water spots, gently brush the entire affected area with a suede brush. For light stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub the mark away. Avoid excessive rubbing which can damage the nap.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

As these trainers feature leather lining and a rubber sole, a short break-in period may be necessary. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

While the gum rubber sole provides good traction, check for any dirt or debris accumulated on the sole and clean it off. Ensure the surface you are walking on is suitable for this type of sole (avoid very wet or icy conditions if possible).

Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers.

Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly between wears. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in a sachet inside the trainers overnight to absorb odors. The leather lining helps with breathability, but proper airing is still beneficial.

Your trainers come ready to wear. Simply lace them up to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Adjust the laces to ensure your foot feels snug but not constricted.

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, hoodies.
  • Smart-Casual Ensembles: Chinos, casual skirts, dresses, blazers.
  • Seasonal Adaptability: Suitable for spring, summer, and autumn, but less ideal for heavy rain or snow due to the suede material.

Care Instructions

Caring for your suede trainers properly will preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan. Suede requires specific attention due to its delicate nature.

  1. Protective Spray: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains. Follow the product instructions for application and drying time.
  2. Regular Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and restore the nap (the soft, raised surface) of the suede. Brush in one direction to maintain a uniform look.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For small marks or scuffs, use a suede eraser (a rubber-like block) to gently rub away the blemish. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
  4. Avoid Water: Suede and prolonged exposure to water do not mix. If your trainers get wet, blot gently with a clean cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not force dry.
  5. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh chemicals, detergents, or machine wash your suede trainers, as this can damage the material and color.
  7. Leather Lining Care: The interior leather lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Allow to air dry thoroughly before wearing again.
