FAQs

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are available in girls' sizes, specifically toddler and kids' shoe sizes. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

How do I clean the blue leather and white checkered parts?

For the blue leather, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. For the white checkered fabric parts, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and possibly a very mild soap solution. Always allow to air dry.

Are these suitable for sports activities?

These trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports.

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 usage, waste management, and emissions.

How secure is the touch 'n' close fastening?

The touch 'n' close fastening provides a reliable and adjustable closure, making it easy for children to secure their shoes independently while ensuring a snug fit.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, construction, and the integrity of the checkered pattern and adhesive components.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the touch 'n' close straps are adjusted properly. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to the foot.

Checkered pattern losing definition

Gently wipe the pattern with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the print.

Shoes becoming wet

Blot excess moisture with a dry cloth and allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a tumble dryer.
