Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Adjusting the Fit: Open the riptape strap completely. Place your toddler's foot inside, ensuring their heel is comfortably against the back of the shoe. Fasten the riptape strap, making sure it's snug but not too tight. You should be able to slide a finger easily between the strap and the foot.
- Attaching/Removing Bow (Optional): The polka dot bow detail is designed to be removable. Gently unclip or slide the bow off the strap/heel webbing if you prefer a plainer look, or securely reattach it.
Compatibility
These shoes are suitable for various activities and environments typical for toddlers, including daily wear, nursery, playgroups, and special occasions. Their supportive design is compatible with the needs of growing feet, providing stability and comfort for walking, running, and exploring.
Care
- Cleaning Patent Leather: To maintain the shine of the durable black patent leather upper, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a patent leather cleaner as directed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Lining Care: The Microban® odour control lining helps keep the shoes fresh. For general cleaning, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather and sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider stuffing with tissue paper to help maintain shape.
