No, these suede shoes should not be machine washed as the water and agitation can damage the delicate suede material.
Measure your child's foot length and compare it to the New Balance infant sizing chart, ensuring there is a small amount of wiggle room for growth.
Yes, they are designed for early walkers and can be worn outdoors, though the suede may show wear faster than synthetic materials.
Yes, using a water-repellent spray designed for suede can help protect the shoes from moisture and light stains.
If the shoes leave red marks or the child seems uncomfortable, discontinue use and move to a larger size to ensure proper foot development.
Check the fabric for trapped lint or debris; clean the hooks and loops with a small brush to restore adhesion.
Gently use a suede-specific brush to lift the nap of the material and restore its natural texture.
Ensure the closure is fully opened and the tongue is pulled forward before guiding the foot into the shoe.
To ensure the best fit, measure your infant's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest. The hook-and-loop closure should be adjusted so it is snug but does not impede circulation. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the suede. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried dirt and a specialized suede eraser for minor scuffs. Keep the shoes away from direct heat sources when drying to prevent the material from stiffening or cracking.
