FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional running?

While based on heritage running technology, they are designed as casual lifestyle trainers and are best suited for daily wear and general play rather than competitive racing.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

These follow standard UK children's footwear sizing. It is recommended to measure the child's foot while they are standing and allow for a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.

Can the insoles be removed?

The shoes feature a textile sockliner; while they can often be lifted, it is recommended to keep them in place to maintain the intended cushioning profile.

Are they machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the metallic overlays and the adhesive bonding. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the recommended method.

Does the TORSION system change the feel of the shoe?

The TORSION system provides a slightly stiffer midfoot feel compared to basic canvas shoes, which helps in preventing foot fatigue during walking and running.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot is used or replace the laces with slightly longer ones if the current length does not allow for a secure finish.

Accumulation of dust in the mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to gently dislodge trapped debris from the ventilation pores.

Outsole losing traction

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove smooth layer of dust or residue that may be reducing the grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability due to mesh upper construction
  • Provides stable midfoot support via the TORSION system
  • Lightweight EVA cushioning minimizes foot fatigue
  • Versatile design suitable for school or casual athletic activities
  • Reliable traction on multiple surface types

Cons

  • Not waterproof due to the open mesh ventilation
  • Lace-up closure may be challenging for younger children who haven't mastered tying laces
  • Metallic overlays may show scuffs if subjected to rough terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your trainers, begin by adjusting the laces to create a snug but non-restrictive fit across the bridge of the foot. These trainers are standard UK children's sizes; if the child will be wearing thick athletic socks, you may want to ensure the fit is checked for adequate toe room. For care, keep the mesh clean by gently brushing off dry dirt after use. If the shoes become heavily soiled, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as high-heat drying and intense agitation can compromise the metallic overlays and adhesive integrity.
