FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand clean these trainers with a damp cloth rather than putting them in a washing machine, as high heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the synthetic upper.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The regular fit is generally suitable for average foot widths, but the adjustable lacing system allows for some flexibility in accommodating slightly wider feet.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The trainers feature a standard textile sockliner for comfort, but they do not contain medical-grade arch support inserts.
Can these be used for basketball?
While they are designed with the style and aesthetic of basketball shoes, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and not intended for competitive hardwood court performance.
Do the sizes run true to UK standards?
Yes, these follow standard UK children's sizing guidelines, but it is always recommended to leave a small amount of space in the toe box for growth.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for flat, textured laces which hold knots more securely.
Scuff marks on the white parts of the shoe
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning eraser or a mixture of water and gentle soap to buff away surface marks.
Tight fit around the instep
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with a wider gap to accommodate a higher instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to allow the foot to slide in comfortably without pulling at the heel collar.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuff marks.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes in a tumble dryer or directly against high-heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material stiffening.
