FAQs

How do I know if I should size up or down?

ALOHAS shoes fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size for a snugger fit.

What material are these trainers made of?

These trainers are primarily made of suede with contrasting finishes and feature rubber soles.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather as water can damage and stain the material.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, employ a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Always test cleaning products on a hidden area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they get wet.

What is the style inspiration for the TB.490 Club trainers?

The design is inspired by classic football shoes, featuring a distinctive long tongue that folds over the instep.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

While they have rubber soles for grip, they are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear rather than high-impact athletic activities.

What are the contrasting finishes mentioned?

The trainers are dark grey suede with darker grey contrasting finishes on certain parts of the shoe, adding depth to the design.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight/loose

If trainers feel too tight, try wearing them with thinner socks. If they feel too loose, consider using insoles or choosing a smaller size if purchasing new ones (as recommended for those between sizes).

Suede getting dirty or stained

Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a suede cleaner according to product instructions. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles showing wear

Regular cleaning of the soles can help maintain their appearance. For significant wear, professional resoling might be an option depending on the shoe's construction.
