FAQs
How do I ensure I'm buying the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your infant's foot from heel to toe and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. Ensure there is a small amount of room for growth, typically about a finger's width.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, these shoes should not be machine washed or tumble dried. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing good grip and traction for infants.
Are these shoes suitable for toddlers who have just started walking?
Yes, the durable rubber outsole and comfortable design make them suitable for toddlers who are taking their first steps.
How do the hook-and-loop straps work?
The straps have a hook-and-loop fastening system that allows for easy opening and secure closure by pressing the two sides together.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is made from a combination of synthetic and coated leather.
What is the main benefit of the moulded sockliner?
The moulded sockliner is designed to provide cushioning and comfort for the infant's foot throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are fully opened. Gently slide the infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is properly seated before fastening the straps.
Straps are not sticking securely.
Check the hook-and-loop straps for any lint, dirt, or debris that might be preventing them from adhering. Clean the straps gently with a soft brush or cloth.
Leather upper appears scuffed or dirty.
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for children's shoes, following product instructions.
Infant seems uncomfortable.
Verify the size is correct and not too tight or too loose. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and not bunched up. The moulded sockliner should provide cushioning, but if discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or rough spots.
