FAQs

How do I ensure the best fit for my toddler?

Ensure there is a thumbnail's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively, and the foot should feel secure but not constricted by the hook and loop fasteners.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the leather upper can withstand light moisture, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles. Allow them to dry thoroughly if they become wet.

What is the benefit of the toe bumpers?

The toe bumpers provide extra durability and protection to the front of the shoe, preventing scuffs and cushioning against impacts as toddlers explore and play.

Are these shoes suitable for a child who is just starting to walk?

Yes, these are designed as first walking shoes. They offer support and flexibility suitable for little ones taking their first steps.

How should I clean the dinosaur detailing?

Wipe the detailing gently with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, which could damage the finish.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Please refer to the retailer's policy or contact Start-rite customer service for specific warranty information, as it typically varies by purchase location and time.

Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, lining, and sole construction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to fasten

Ensure the hook and loop straps are free of debris (lint, dirt). If straps are worn, consider replacing the shoes.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Apply a small amount of appropriate leather conditioner specifically for children's shoes. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth.

Child seems uncomfortable

Re-check the fit. Ensure the hook and loop fasteners are adjusted for a snug but not tight fit. Ensure socks are not bunched up inside.

Sole shows significant wear

Inspect for damage to the sole's integrity. If wear is excessive for the duration of use, contact the retailer for potential warranty evaluation.
