FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are constructed with leather, machine washing can damage the material. Clean them with a damp cloth instead.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The trainers feature a cushioned comfort insole designed to provide general support for growing feet during daily activities.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather is naturally more water-resistant than mesh, these trainers are not waterproof. They can handle light splashes, but should be dried immediately if soaked.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
Measure your child's foot in the afternoon when their feet are at their largest, and refer to the UK children's size guide provided.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific orthotics, the factory insole can typically be removed to accommodate custom inserts.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with slightly longer or textured laces to improve grip.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a matching beige shoe cream or a specialized leather eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs.
General discomfort or tightness
Loosen the lacing across the midfoot to allow for more volume and ensure the insole is lying flat within the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable leather material offers long-lasting wear
- Cushioned insoles provide excellent comfort for active kids
- Lace-up closure allows for a customized, secure fit
- Low-profile silhouette works well with various casual styles
Cons
- Beige leather is susceptible to scuffs and dirt

- Leather requires specific cleaning products to maintain appearance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure your child wears the type of socks they would typically use with the trainers before sizing. Since these feature a lace-up design, ensure laces are tied securely to prevent tripping.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth regularly to remove surface dust.
- Use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner to prevent the material from cracking over time.
- Avoid submerging the shoes in water or machine washing them, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent warping.
