FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all sports?
These trainers are specifically designed for sports played on soft, outdoor surfaces like grass or turf, where the spike outsole provides optimal grip. They are not recommended for hard surfaces or indoor use.
How do I clean the trainers?
Clean the upper with a damp cloth and brush off any dirt from the sole and spikes. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the purpose of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and helps to absorb shock, making them comfortable for young athletes during long periods of activity.
What does 'UK 3.5' refer to?
This refers to the UK children's shoe sizing standard for this particular pair of trainers.
Can these trainers be worn for casual use?
While comfortable, the spike design is primarily for athletic performance. Casual wear on hard surfaces is not recommended as it can wear down the spikes and affect grip during sports.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ensuring they are clean and fully dried to maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, they may require a break-in period. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces
Confirm you are using them on appropriate outdoor, soft surfaces. The spikes are designed for turf and grass, not hard ground.
Dirt accumulation on spikes
Use a stiff brush to gently clean dirt from the spikes after each use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent rust or further caking.
