FAQs
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It's important to consult the adidas Originals sizing chart for children's footwear and measure your child's foot. Be aware that the size indicated on the box or label might show a US or European size, which can differ from the UK size.
Are these trainers suitable for walking toddlers?
Yes, the durable rubber cupsole provides good support and traction, making them suitable for toddlers who are walking and exploring.
Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material and affect the shoe's structure. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of these trainers is made from a combination of suede and synthetic materials.
How do the elasticated laces work?
The elasticated laces are designed to stretch, allowing the shoe to be easily slipped on and off. They help secure the shoe comfortably on the foot without the need for traditional tying.
What is the main benefit of the elasticated laces?
The primary benefit is convenience for parents and children, enabling quick and effortless dressing.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
Double-check the UK size against the size guide. Ensure the child's foot is measured correctly. The elasticated laces offer some adjustability, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort and support.
Suede material getting dirty.
Use a suede brush for routine cleaning. For tougher stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry. Consider a suede protector spray for added resistance.
Difficulty with elasticated laces.
While designed for ease, ensure the elastic is not overly stretched or damaged. If the laces seem loose, they are typically secured internally and should maintain their function.
