FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing sports?

How do I know if UK Child 11.5 is the right size?

What is the main advantage of the elastic lacing system?

The elastic lacing system allows for quick and easy on-and-off, making it convenient for children to put on and take off their shoes independently.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction suitable for everyday wear.

Are there other color options available for the Hoops Classic series?

Yes, the Hoops Classic series is available in various colors, including Black, White, and Grey, often with different secondary color accents.

What does 'Hoops Classic' signify?

'Hoops Classic' refers to a design line inspired by traditional basketball shoes, offering a retro and timeless aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the elastic laces for a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the correct size is being used.

Difficulty putting shoes on

Gently pull the elastic laces apart or use the heel tab to help slide the foot in. Ensure the tongue is fully forward.

Soles show signs of wear

For general wear, this is normal. If excessive wear occurs quickly, ensure the child is not using them for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., aggressive sports).

Discoloration on the fabric

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals.

Compatibility: Suitable for unisex children's footwear, designed for casual wear and light activities. They are compatible with a wide range of children's clothing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
