FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While made of cotton, it is recommended to hand wash or spot clean them to maintain the integrity of the direct-injected sole and elastic gore.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they are slip-ons, it is helpful to ensure the mid-foot width matches the child's feet.
What does the Earthwise collection mean?
Earthwise is a TOMS initiative focusing on using recycled and sustainable materials, such as recycled cotton and bio-based foams, to reduce the impact on the environment.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The elastic gore allows for some flexibility, but the standard cut is designed for an average foot width.
Can the insoles be removed?
The comfort insoles are designed to be part of the shoe structure for optimal support and should not be removed.
Troubleshooting
Elastic feels tight when putting on
The elastic will relax slightly with wear; try using a shoehorn or having the child pull the back heel tab gently to assist with entry.
Outer fabric looks dusty
Use a soft dry brush to remove loose surface dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No special setup is required; the shoes are ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from excessive moisture as they are primarily made from cotton. If the shoes become dirty, spot clean the upper with mild soap and cold water using a soft cloth or brush. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents that could degrade the recycled fibers. Because these shoes use an elastic gore, ensure the foot size is measured correctly as the slip-on fit relies on a snug but comfortable hold around the mid-foot.
