FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Nike Dunk Low is comfortable for casual activities and playground play, it is primarily a lifestyle trainer and not a specialized high-performance running shoe.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to your child's current UK shoe size. Since these are leather, they do not stretch significantly, so opt for a size that allows for a small amount of 'wiggle room' at the toes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather finish and the structural adhesives. Clean them manually with a damp cloth.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard foam insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary material used in these trainers?
The upper is crafted from high-quality leather, which provides durability and a classic look.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The foam midsole offers moderate, everyday support, though it is not categorized as a corrective orthopedic shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets to provide more room, or ensure the tongue is centered properly.
Visible scuffs on the leather
Use a leather-safe cleaner or a gentle eraser to buff out light scuffs, then apply a protective leather conditioner if needed.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if the child struggles with traditional knots.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable leather upper withstands heavy wear
- Padded collar provides excellent ankle support
- Soft foam midsole ensures all-day walking comfort
- Reliable traction on multiple surface types
Cons
- Leather material is susceptible to scuffing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for a standard fit, and it is recommended to use the size guide to match your child's UK foot measurement accurately.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the leather and structural integrity.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause the leather to crack or the glue to weaken.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use to maintain freshness and shape.
