Full details

FAQs
What material are the ALOHAS Sway ballet flats made of?
The exterior is made of 100% cowhide suede, while the lining and insole are crafted from 100% goat leather. The outsole is made of 100% Cuerolite.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is very low, measuring discreetly at 1 cm.
How should I care for the suede material?
Use a suede brush for regular maintenance and apply a suede protector spray. Avoid water exposure and clean with a dry cloth or suede eraser for minor marks.
What is the recommended sizing if I am between sizes?
It is recommended to choose the smaller size if you are between sizes for a better and more secure fit.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The square toe offers more room than a traditional pointed toe. However, if you have significantly wide feet, the recommendation to size down might make them feel snug. Trying them on is advised.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as the material is sensitive to moisture and can be damaged or stained.
What is the style of the toe?
These flats feature a modern square toe design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or snug
As recommended, if you are between sizes, opt for the smaller size. If they still feel too snug after initial wear, consider wearing them with thin socks for a short period to gently stretch them, or consult a cobbler for professional stretching if needed. Ensure the tie strap is not overly tightened.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap of the suede and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction for a uniform appearance.
Sole feels stiff
The rubber outsole is designed for flexibility. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to naturally flex and mold to your foot's movement. Avoid extreme temperatures which can affect material flexibility.

Compatibility: The ALOHAS Sway ballet flats are designed for adult women. Their versatile style makes them compatible with a wide range of outfits, from casual to smart-casual.
Care Instructions:
- Suede Care: Due to the suede material, it is recommended to use a suede brush to maintain the texture and appearance. Apply a suede protector spray to guard against water stains and dirt.
- Cleaning: For minor marks, use a clean, dry cloth or a suede eraser. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the suede.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Water Exposure: Minimize exposure to rain or wet conditions, as suede can be sensitive to moisture. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
