FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the floral jacquard materials. Stick to surface cleaning with a damp cloth.

Can these be used for actual handball matches?

While inspired by handball shoes, they are primarily fashion-focused sneakers; for competitive court sports, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or puddles to prolong the life of the materials.

How do I find the right size for my child?

Check the UK size guide provided; if between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up slightly to accommodate growth and thick socks.

Does the rubber sole leave marks?

No, the traditional gum rubber outsole is designed for indoor use and is generally non-marking on standard gym surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff at the heel

Use a shoehorn when putting them on and ensure the laces are properly loosened to allow the leather to flex.

Difficulty removing dirt from the floral pattern

Use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle soapy solution, dabbing lightly rather than scrubbing hard to preserve the texture.

Insole comfort issues

If the child requires more arch support, the factory insole can often be replaced with a slim-profile orthotic insert.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction stands up to active play
  • Excellent traction provided by the rubber gum outsole
  • Stylish floral pattern offers a unique look compared to standard trainers
  • Comfortable fit suitable for all-day wear
  • Versatile design works well with both casual and sporty outfits

Cons

  • Floral and light fabric elements can be difficult to clean
  • Leather may require a short breaking-in period
  • Not intended for high-performance court sports despite the name
  • Limited to specific seasonal styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers fit true to size for most children, though the leather material is structured and may feel firm upon first wear. To break them in, have your child wear them for short intervals indoors before long excursions. For care, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the floral jacquard elements. If the shoes become damp inside, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
