FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The wide straps offer some adjustability, but the overall fit is standard. The backless design and rounded toe generally accommodate average-width feet comfortably.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Alohas. These are listed in UK sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can these sandals be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause discoloration. Applying a suede protector can offer some protection.
What is the origin of the materials?
The sandals are made from 100% suede. The product is designed in Barcelona and handcrafted locally in Spain.
How durable are the silver buckles?
The buckles are designed to be a statement feature. While made to be durable, care should be taken to avoid excessive force or scratching to maintain their appearance.
What is the sole made of?
The product information does not specify the sole material, but it has a height of 15mm and the insole is tonally molded for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede discoloration or water marks
Allow the area to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For persistent marks, consider professional suede cleaning.
Buckle feels loose or stiff
Check if the buckle is securely attached. For stiffness, try gently manipulating it. If it remains problematic, contact customer support.
Sandal feels slightly stiff initially
Suede will naturally soften with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in gently.
