FAQs

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are designed for kids, specifically falling within the children's shoe sizing range.

How do I clean the glitter on the shoes?

Gently wipe the glittered areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents, which can remove or damage the glitter.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. For rigorous sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.

What are the materials used in the trainers?

The uppers are primarily made of 'other materials' (80%) with 20% leather. The lining is a mix of 'other materials' (50%) and textile (50%), with a textile cushioning and a 100% rubber sole.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the metallic finish and adhesives. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing provided (Infant 13 in this case). It's always best to measure your child's foot and compare it to a standard children's size chart if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to fasten.

Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are clean and free of debris. The fabric might be stiff initially; repeated use will soften it.

Metallic finish appears dull or scratched.

Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, try a small amount of clear shoe polish suitable for metallic finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Sole seems slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The grip may be reduced on very smooth or wet surfaces; exercise caution in such conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the metallic upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause damage to the materials.
