Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For more persistent stains, consult a professional leather and suede cleaner or use a specialized suede cleaning kit, following product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear
This is common with new leather and suede footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Using a shoe stretcher or thicker socks can also help.
Laces are showing signs of wear
Replace the cream-colored laces with new ones of similar material and length. Ensure the new laces are compatible with the eyelets.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
While the rubber sole offers grip, new soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or using a specialized sole grip product can improve traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As trainers, the ALOHAS Rife Sneakers require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they are the correct size. The primary setup involves lacing them to your preferred tightness using the provided cream-colored laces.
Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for general adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits. They pair well with jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.
Care Instructions:
- Suede Care: Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and maintain its texture. For stains, use a suede eraser. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the suede's appearance. Treat with a suede protector spray for added resistance.
- Leather Lining: The 100% cowhide lining should be kept dry. If it becomes damp, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Rubber Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
