FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, you should not machine wash these trainers as the suede material can be damaged by water and tumbling.

Can I use waterproof spray on these?

Yes, a standard suede-safe protector spray can help repel dirt and light moisture, but test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Is the size 9 a standard UK children's size?

Yes, these are designed according to standard UK children's sizing conventions.

Do I need to tie these laces?

No, the laces are elasticated and meant to stay in place once fitted, offering a slip-on style experience.

What is the gum sole made of?

The gum sole is made from durable rubber, designed to provide flexible, non-slip performance.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Ensure the elasticated laces are fully stretched open, as they have built-in tension designed to keep the foot secure.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap of the material and remove surface dust.

Shoe feels too tight

Verify the sizing; if the elastic feels too restrictive, ensure the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks for a size 9 fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy for kids to put on and take off due to elasticated laces
  • High-quality suede material provides a soft and comfortable fit
  • Durable gum sole ensures longevity during active play
  • Heritage aesthetic remains stylish for various casual occasions

Cons

  • Suede material is susceptible to staining and requires specific cleaning methods
  • Lighter pink colorways may show dirt more easily than darker alternatives
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports performance or wet-weather conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes utilize an elasticated lacing system, there is no assembly required; they are ready for wear straight out of the box. To keep the suede looking its best, avoid excessive contact with mud or water, as moisture can damage the texture of the material. If the shoes get dirty, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dust or dried debris. For deeper cleaning, apply a suede-specific cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the suede to stiffen.
