FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, suede is a natural material that can absorb water. It is recommended to use a protective spray to make them water-resistant.
How do I fit the size 6?
The Carvela Altezza is designed to a standard UK adult size 6; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the suede provides some natural stretch over time.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will permanently damage the suede and may compromise the metallic hardware.
Are the metallic zips and studs durable?
Yes, they are high-quality decorative hardware; however, avoid scraping them against rough surfaces to keep the finish intact.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle fashion sneakers and do not feature the technical support or cushioning required for running.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently use a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore the texture.
Side zip becomes difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper track; you may apply a tiny amount of candle wax to the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first wear, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray. Because the shoes are made of genuine suede, they should not be machine washed. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt or dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser. Avoid using water directly on the material, as this can cause streaks or discoloration. Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black dye from fading over time.
