Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Open Straps: Fully open the hook-and-loop straps on the shoe.
- Slide Foot In: Guide your child's foot into the shoe. The elastic laces allow for easy entry.
- Secure Straps: Close the hook-and-loop straps, adjusting them to achieve a snug, comfortable fit around your child's foot. Ensure they are not too tight or too loose.
- Check Fit: Wiggle your child's toes to ensure there's enough room (about a thumb's width) at the front, and that their heel is secure.
Compatibility
- Age Group: These shoes are designed specifically for infants and toddlers.
- Gender: A unisex design, suitable for all children.
- Sizing: Available in various UK children's sizes. Always refer to the UK size when purchasing and checking fit, as US/Euro sizes may differ on the box/label.
Care
Maintaining the suede upper is key to keeping these shoes looking great.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or dirt, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently brush off dry dirt. Brush in one direction to avoid damaging the nap.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and dab, rather than rub vigorously.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the suede and overall structure.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
