FAQs
What material is the Aldwin Lace made from?
The Aldwin Lace features a grey suede upper.
Is this shoe suitable for formal events?
The Aldwin Lace is best described as smart-casual. While its suede and classic silhouette can elevate casual outfits, it may not be formal enough for black-tie or very formal business events.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and always test on a hidden area first. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by a cleaning product.
What kind of comfort features does it have?
It includes a Contour Cushion footbed designed for all-day comfort and support, along with a durable TR sole for cushioning and traction.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the TR sole offers some durability, suede is not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to treat the shoes with a suede protector spray and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The lace-up fastening allows for a custom fit. Ensure your heel is comfortably secured and there is enough room in the toe box without feeling constricted.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of a durable TR (thermoplastic rubber) material for excellent traction.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Suede can stretch slightly over time. Consider using thicker socks initially if a snug fit is preferred.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
Ensure the TR sole is clean. If slipping persists, consider a light scuffing of the sole on a rough surface or consult a cobbler for grip enhancement options.
