FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very young babies who cannot walk yet?
Yes, the soft lining and flexible design make them comfortable for babies, even if they are not yet walking. They are ideal for developing feet and provide a stylish look.
How do I clean the suede material?
For suede, it is best to use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What does 'elasticated lace' mean for this shoe?
Elasticated laces mean the laces are made of a stretchy material and are often fixed in place. This allows the shoe to be easily slipped on and off the foot without the need for traditional tying, while still providing a secure fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate material cleaners is the best method to preserve their shape and materials.
What is the main advantage of the rubber cupsole?
The rubber cupsole provides enhanced durability, excellent traction for grip, and good support for a child's foot during active play.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
Always refer to the UK size specified. Be aware that the box or label might show different sizing conventions (US/Euro). Trying the shoes on indoors on a clean surface is the best way to confirm the fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear to be the wrong size upon arrival.
Please check the sizing conversion on the box or label, as it may display US or EU sizing. Compare this to the UK size ordered. If there is still a discrepancy or you are unsure, please try the footwear on indoors to confirm fit before considering a return.
Difficulty slipping the shoe onto a child's foot.
Ensure the elasticated laces are loosened as much as possible. Gently guide the child's foot into the shoe, and then secure the laces. The elasticated laces are designed for ease, but some adjustment may be needed for a snug fit.
Material scuffs easily.
For minor scuffs on the suede, use a suede brush. For scuffs on leather or synthetic parts, a slightly damp cloth may help. For persistent marks, consider a dedicated shoe cleaner suitable for the materials.
