FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the leather upper and durable outsole are designed to handle indoor and outdoor infant activities.
How do I know if the size 5.5 is right for my baby?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and refer to the New Balance infant size chart for the most accurate conversion to UK sizing.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to hand-wiping with a damp cloth.
Is the leather breathable?
Leather provides natural breathability, though it is more structured and less porous than thin mesh fabrics.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a cushioned footbed designed to provide comfort and support suitable for infant development.
Troubleshooting
The hook-and-loop strap is losing stickiness
Use a pair of tweezers or a small comb to remove lint or debris trapped in the hook portion of the fastener.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather
Apply a matching leather cream or conditioner to buff out light scuffs and restore the material's finish.
Difficulty putting the shoe on a squirming infant
Ensure the tongue is fully pulled forward to maximize the opening space before inserting the foot.

Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Stain Management: For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can dry out and crack the leather.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
