Shoe care helps maintain a good appearance, durability, and resistance to different weather conditions. Below are some practical tips.

Shoes made from smooth leather:

Occasionally wipe them with a damp cloth, which may include a drop of mild dishwashing liquid.
Clean shoes can be treated with a thin layer of colourless cream or leather balm, which should then be gently rubbed into the smooth leather using a dry cloth. When applying a new product, always test it on a less visible area before treating the entire surface.

Shoes made from suede, nubuck and brushed leather:

If dry and muddy, brush them with a suitable suede brush.
Occasionally wipe them with a damp cloth, which may include a drop of mild dishwashing liquid.
Once clean, apply a colourless waterproofing spray suitable for footwear.

For all Proalp shoes please also note:

Allow wet shoes to dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area or indoors, away from direct heat sources.
Never soak them in water or wash them in a washing machine.
If desired, during the off-season you can stuff them with crumpled absorbent paper (e.g. newspaper) to help maintain their shape.

How often should be shoes cleaned and maintained?

Everyone has their own preferences, but we recommend cleaning and caring for your shoes a few times per season.

Ordered items that are in stock are dispatched within two working days of placing the order. For items that are not in stock, the average lead time is extended by approximately three working days. If the delivery time is further extended, we will notify you accordingly.

Why are healthy feet so important?

Our feet are the foundation of the body. They connect us to the ground, bearing weight and loads, and influencing your knees, pelvis, spine, and neck. Inappropriate footwear can lead to pain, poor posture, and balance problems. That’s why at Proalp, we focus on developing shoes that positively impact your health and natural body movement.

It's important that shoes are larger than our feet

Roomy toe box: Our toes are designed to move naturally while walking. The line at the big toe should remain as straight as possible, so it is not pushed inwards against the other toes. It is not just about width at the hallux; the toes also need enough space to splay naturally.

The right size: Shoes that are too short compress the toe joints and prevent the instep from settling properly, as well as affecting natural load transfer when walking.

Wide-shaped soles: Roomy soles allow you to step steadily and without restriction, using the full surface of your feet.

FAQ

Choosing the correct size starts with an accurate foot measurement. Please use our size guide and take your foot length, width, and circumference into account when selecting your size.

Yes. As the only brand on the market offering four different width options, our shoes can also be optimally fitted to wider feet.

Of course. You may return or exchange your item in accordance with our returns policy. Please ensure that the product is unworn and returned in its original condition.

We recommend regular care and maintenance to help preserve the quality and appearance of your shoes over time.

Yes. For many of our models, we offer sole replacement or refurbishment services, helping to extend the lifespan of your shoes.

When developing our footwear, we place great importance on breathability and therefore use hydrophobic materials. With regular care, the shoes maintain their water-repellent properties, meaning they can withstand moisture in moderately wet conditions.

Delivery times vary depending on whether the shoes are already made and in stock. Shoes that are in stock are dispatched no later than the next working day. If a model is not currently in stock, it will usually be produced within a few days, and you will be notified accordingly. Should you place a special order with a longer delivery time, we will inform you in advance.
