FAQs
How do I clean the red suede on my ALOHAS TB.490 Rife Trainers?
To clean the suede, first, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always avoid water and harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers suitable for rainy weather?
No, suede is not water-resistant and can be damaged by moisture. It's recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in rainy or wet conditions. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some minor resistance but won't make them waterproof.
What kind of outfits do these trainers go well with?
The ALOHAS TB.490 Rife Trainers, with their vibrant red suede and sleek design, pair excellently with casual and street-style outfits. Think jeans, shorts, casual skirts, or even to add a bold touch to a neutral-colored dress.
How can I maintain the comfort of the leather lining and cushioning?
Regularly air out your trainers to prevent odor. If desired, you can use shoe deodorizers. For long-term comfort, ensure proper cleaning and storage to prevent material degradation.
Are these trainers true to size?
ALOHAS trainers generally run true to size. We recommend purchasing your standard UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing specific sizing charts if available, or consulting customer reviews.
Can men wear the ALOHAS TB.490 Rife Trainers?
While the product is categorized for 'Female' wearers, style is personal. The design features are universally appealing; however, fit and sizing (UK women's sizing) should be considered to ensure comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For tougher grime, a suede eraser can be effective.
Water spots or minor stains on suede
Allow the trainers to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently work the nap. For more persistent spots, a dedicated suede cleaner should be used sparingly according to product instructions.
Soles feel slippery
Inspect the gum rubber soles for dirt or debris. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any build-up that might be reducing traction.
Laces constantly come untied
Ensure you are tying a firm double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of similar style and length.
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Ensure the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose. If the issue persists, consider using thin socks or wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow for break-in.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the 100% suede uppers and overall appearance of your trainers:
- Water Protection: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing your trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first use and periodically thereafter.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
- Sole Care: Clean the gum rubber soles periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain their grip and appearance.
