FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. While the leather offers some resistance, they are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions.
What does LWG certification mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification means the leather is sourced from tanneries that meet recognized environmental standards for energy and water consumption, waste management, and emissions.
Can the insoles be removed for orthotics?
The product description does not specify if the insoles are removable. It is generally not recommended to remove them unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the UK children's foot sizing chart. Measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the available sizes (e.g., 4.5 UK Toddler).
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing durability and grip.
Are there other color options available for this model?
This guide focuses on the Blue/White Checkered model. Please check the product listings for availability of other colorways in the Old Skool V Gum Check series.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the strap and the corresponding surface are clean and dry. Lint or debris can affect adhesion. Gently brush off any obstructions.
