FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should not machine wash these trainers. Suede can be damaged by water and agitation in a washing machine.
Are the laces adjustable?
The Elan kids trainers use fixed elastic laces for easy on and off, which are not meant to be adjusted like traditional laces.
Is the sizing consistent with other trainers?
Yes, they fit standard UK children's sizes; however, consider that suede material does not have as much stretch as knit or mesh footwear.
Can these be worn in the rain?
We recommend avoiding heavy rain as water can leave permanent marks or stains on the suede material.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the colours vibrant and the suede in good condition.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too tight or loose
The laces are designed for a standard fit; ensure the tongue of the shoe is pulled up fully before sliding the foot in to avoid excessive tension.
Surface stains on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth to gently lift surface dirt. Do not use water or liquid cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; simply slip them on and adjust the fit as needed. To maintain the appearance of the suede finish, we recommend treating the shoes with a suede-specific protective spray before the first use to repel dirt and light moisture. If the shoes become dirty, allow any mud to dry completely and then gently brush it away with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh household detergents, as this can cause the suede to stiffen or the vibrant colours to bleed.
