FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for babies or just toddlers?
These Gazelle trainers are specifically designed for babies and toddlers, featuring elasticated laces for easy on-and-off suitable for young children.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth is recommended. Always allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Do the elasticated laces adjust like regular laces?
The elasticated laces offer convenience and a snug fit but do not provide the same fine-tuning adjustment as traditional laces. They are designed for quick slip-on functionality.
What is the best way to ensure the correct size?
It is recommended to try the footwear on before returning, as box or label sizes may differ (e.g., US/Euro vs. UK). Measure your child's foot if possible and consult sizing charts.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be easily damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions.
What are the main materials used in these trainers?
The trainers feature a suede and synthetic upper with a soft synthetic lining and a durable rubber cupsole.
What is the benefit of the elasticated laces?
The primary benefit is the ease of use for parents and children. They allow for quick slip-on and removal, securing the shoe without the need for traditional knot-tying.
Troubleshooting
Trainer appears too tight or loose
Ensure the elasticated laces are adjusted correctly. While not traditional laces, they can be slightly manipulated for a better fit. If persistently ill-fitting, consider a different size or style.
Suede material looks dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, test a specialized suede cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. A slightly damp cloth can be used for minor marks, but avoid excessive moisture.
Difficulty getting the foot into the trainer
Gently pull the heel tab and open the tongue as wide as possible. Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before sliding it in.
Sole becoming detached
Minor detachments may be fixable with appropriate shoe adhesive. For significant separation, contact customer support regarding warranty or repair options.
