FAQs

What age group are these shoes designed for?

These Nike Court Borough Low Recraft shoes are specifically designed for 'older kids', typically fitting children in primary to early secondary school, given the available UK sizing.

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?

While they feature a hoops-inspired design and offer comfort for active children, these shoes are best suited for everyday activities, casual wear, and light play. They are not designed for high-performance or competitive sports.

How should I clean the velvet material?

For cleaning the velvet, gently spot clean with a damp, soft cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid soaking the shoes. Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the velvet in one direction to restore its texture.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The 'recrafted' design of these shoes provides extra room in the toe box and midfoot, generally offering a comfortable fit that aligns with Nike's standard kids' sizing. We recommend checking Nike's official size chart if you are unsure.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

The velvet material is not waterproof and can be sensitive to moisture. It is advisable to protect these shoes from heavy rain and wet conditions to prevent damage or staining. A suitable water-repellent spray for velvet can offer some protection.

Are the laces adjustable?

Yes, these shoes feature classic laces, allowing for full adjustability to ensure a secure and customized fit for various foot widths and comfort preferences.

What are the benefits of the 'recrafted' design?

The 'recrafted' design includes a roomier toe box and midfoot upper, which enhances comfort and durability. This extra space is particularly beneficial for growing feet, allowing for natural movement and reducing pressure points.

Troubleshooting

Velvet material looks matted or dull.

Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush (such as a suede brush) in one consistent direction. This will help restore the nap and bring back its original luster. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size.

Ensure the laces are loosened completely before putting on the shoes and then re-tie them for a comfortable fit. The 'recrafted' toe box offers extra space, but a short break-in period may be needed. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.

Shoes make squeaking noises when walking.

Squeaking is often caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insoles, cleaning them and the shoe's interior, and then reinserting. A small amount of baby powder sprinkled under the insole can also reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Nike Court Borough Low Recraft shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Fit Adjustment: Once your foot is comfortably inside, tighten the classic laces to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure they are not too tight, which could restrict blood flow, or too loose, which could cause slipping.
  3. Break-In Period: Like most new shoes, allow for a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your child's foot shape.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for older kids and are unisex, making them suitable for any child. They are ideal for everyday wear, compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to skirts and dresses. The design is versatile enough for school, playdates, and general leisure activities.

Care

The velvet material requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, gently spot clean the velvet with a damp, soft cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Avoid rubbing aggressively.
  • Avoid Soaking: Do not immerse the shoes in water, as this can damage the velvet and the shoe's structure.
  • Drying: After cleaning, pat the area dry with a clean, soft cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Brushing Velvet: Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush (like a dedicated velvet or suede brush) to gently brush the velvet in one direction. This helps to restore the nap and prevent matting.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for velvet or delicate fabrics to help protect them from future spills and moisture. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Stuffing them with acid-free tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
