FAQs
What age group is this shoe suitable for?
These shoes are designed for young boys in the 'kids' and 'infant' age groups, specifically for first steps and early walking stages.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
Refer to the UK children's foot size guide. The shoe is designed to fit snugly for a barefoot feel, so ensure there's enough room for natural toe splay but not excessive looseness.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is removable. This allows for easier cleaning and airing, and can also provide a bit more space within the shoe if needed.
What makes the Flexy System special?
The Flexy System is integrated into the outsole to provide exceptional flexibility, allowing the shoe to bend and move naturally with the child's foot for comfortable and stress-free walking.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made from leather and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer breathability but should be kept away from excessive moisture.
How should I clean the leather parts of the shoe?
Wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet.
What does 'chrome-free, non-toxic leather pad' mean for the insole?
It means the leather lining of the insole is processed without harmful chromium chemicals and is safe for children's skin, contributing to the shoe's antibacterial and non-toxic properties.
Troubleshooting
Shoe appears too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the Velcro fastener is adjusted correctly and not overtightened. Check if the correct size has been selected, as the shoe is designed for a snug, barefoot feel. The removable insole can also be taken out if more space is needed, though this reduces antibacterial properties.
Leather material shows scuffs or marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner can help restore the appearance.
Velcro fastener loses grip
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the Velcro with a stiff brush to remove any debris that may be preventing a secure closure. If the Velcro is significantly worn, it may need to be replaced.
Insole smells after extended use
Remove the insole and allow it to air out in a well-ventilated area. You can also gently wipe it with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before reinserting. Regular airing helps maintain freshness.
