FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for school?
While durable, the unique design and materials like glitter and suede make them more suited for casual wear or special occasions rather than daily school use, which might lead to excessive wear and tear.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to refer to the brand's specific size chart for children's footwear. Measuring your child's foot from heel to toe and comparing it with the chart will help ensure the best fit. Consider the UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 8).
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While the leather offers some protection, the suede and fabric components can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'handmade vintage finish' mean?
This refers to the intentional design process where the trainers are crafted to have a slightly worn, pre-loved appearance. This includes subtle scuffs, color variations, or distressed details that are part of the aesthetic and do not indicate a defect.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mold or damage to the materials.
Is the glitter star durable?
The glitter star is designed to be a durable embellishment, but like all decorative elements, it can be susceptible to wear with rough use. Gentle care and avoiding abrasive cleaning will help maintain its appearance.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of 100% rubber, providing good traction and flexibility for active wear.
Troubleshooting
Glitter is coming off
Gently wipe the affected area with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing or using abrasive cleaners. Ensure the shoes are stored properly when not in use.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser.
Leather has scuffs or marks
For light scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather, testing on a hidden area first.
Shoes feel stiff after cleaning
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, you can use a leather conditioner on the leather parts to restore suppleness. Avoid direct heat which can dry out leather.
