Product Insights
Alohas' Tb.56 Brown Suede Sneakers are on-demand, ethically made in Portugal from LWG-certified suede and leather, with a patina that develops over time and a crochet detail that is prone to snagging; they require a break-in period, suede protector, and vigilance against dirt and indigo transfer, and while true to size for standard feet, wide feet may need a half size up—a tradeoff between sustainable craftsmanship and high-maintenance aesthetics that has divided buyers on value.

Comment discusses staining concerns and Alohas brand quality
You'd be better off finding a pair of cream leather and adding ribbon laces yourself because those are going to stain so quickly. Hell, you could probably DIY the crochet spots yourself on a pair of discount sneakers. However, I do own some boucle Alohas clogs and they are excellent quality and so comfortable, plus they tend to only make what's preordered so there's minimal waste. David Jones was keeping some of their styles. I would/will absolutely buy their shoes again in the future and frankly, those sneakers are cute enough that I am loading the Alohas page right now.

Positive review of Alohas sneakers after break-in
So I kept the white and yellow ones, and have been wearing them for a week now. It took me two long walks to break them in, the material needs to soften a tiny bit but no blisters whatsoever, and I really gotta say they are a great purchase. They are comfy to walk in, true to size, and most importantly: got a ton of compliments on them!
