FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 series is built on a wider last compared to many racing-style sneakers, providing a more accommodating fit for most foot shapes.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to clean them by hand to prevent damaging the suede and leather materials.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers are primarily constructed from durable suede and leather.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the 574 Core design is versatile and suitable for both boys and girls.
Are they good for rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, suede can be sensitive to heavy rain. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray specifically for suede to improve protection.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede surfaces
Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently lift the dirt without damaging the texture.
Shoes feel too tight during growth spurts
Check if the laces are overtightened; if the foot has truly outgrown the size 12, it is recommended to move to the next size up to ensure proper development.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks before measuring their foot. The UK size 12 is consistent with standard children's sizing for the brand. To keep the suede and leather in good condition, avoid machine washing. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the suede components. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather and suede cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
