FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 408v1 is inspired by running silhouettes, it is designed primarily for leisure, school, and everyday play.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure the child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and compare them to the standard UK size chart.
Can these be put in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the foam midsole. Spot cleaning is the recommended method.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the construction utilizes materials that allow for airflow, keeping feet comfortable during daily activities.
Do these come in other colors?
Yes, the 408 series is available in various colors including Pink, Black, Blue, and White combinations.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Consider using a double knot or replacing the standard laces with elastic speed laces if the child struggles with tying.
Dirt buildup on the fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm the child's UK foot size before purchase. When putting on the shoes, ensure the laces are loosened enough to slide the foot in comfortably before tightening to the desired tension. For maintenance, spot clean the trainers using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the cushioning. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape of the materials.
