FAQs

What age group are these trainers designed for?

These trainers are designed for kids and are available in children's UK sizes.

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?

While comfortable for everyday wear and light activities, they are primarily fashion trainers and may not offer the specialized support required for high-impact sports.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length for the most accurate fit, considering they are children's UK sizes.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by PUMA's 70's archive and features a collaboration with Gabby's Dollhouse, incorporating playful doodles and a crafty, DIY aesthetic.

How should I clean the fabric elements?

Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, especially on the printed or doodled areas.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Children's feet can grow quickly. If a size exchange is possible, consider a half-size larger. Break-in period might be needed for a snug fit.

Color fading or artwork smudging

Avoid harsh cleaning agents and excessive water. Gently wipe with a damp cloth only. Ensure shoes are dried naturally away from direct heat.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering grip. Check for significant wear on the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are designed for use as children's footwear and are compatible with typical children's clothing.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth or soft brush.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the colors.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers, as this can compromise their structure and aesthetic.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and condition.
