FAQs

How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?

Refer to the available UK toddler and kids' sizes. It is recommended to measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe and compare this measurement to a sizing chart, or try them on in person if possible.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are made from leather and textile, and the rubber sole. They are not designed to be waterproof and will offer limited protection against significant water exposure.

How should I clean the checkered pattern?

For the checkered pattern, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the material or spread the ink. Always test cleaning methods on a small, hidden area first.

What does LWG certification mean for the leather?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather used in these trainers comes from tanneries that meet specific environmental standards, covering aspects like energy and water consumption, waste management, and air emissions.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, these trainers should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Follow the spot cleaning and hand-cleaning instructions provided.

What is the heel type?

These trainers have a flat heel, providing a stable base suitable for toddlers' developing feet.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are specifically designed for toddlers and young children, available in toddler and kids' sizes.

Troubleshooting

Strap not holding securely

Ensure the 'touch 'n' close' strap is clean and free from debris like lint or sand. If the hook-and-loop fastener is worn, it may require replacement.

Discoloration on checkered pattern

Avoid exposing the trainers to excessive sunlight or abrasive materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Child's foot seems uncomfortable

Verify the size is correct using a foot measurement guide. Ensure socks are thin and well-fitting. The textile cushioning should provide comfort, but if persistent discomfort occurs, check for potential pressure points or rubbing.

Sole showing wear and tear

The rubber sole is designed for durability, but heavy use can accelerate wear. For minor wear, check for embedded objects. Significant tearing may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for strenuous activity.

Care Advice:

  • Uppers: Clean with a damp cloth. For the leather components, consider using a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for children's footwear to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
  • Lining: 100% textile. Spot clean with mild soap and water if necessary. Ensure the lining is thoroughly dried before wear.
  • Sole: 100% rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  • General Care: Allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet. Do not place near direct heat sources.
  • Leather Source: The leather used is sourced from environmentally-certified tanneries (LWG certified), which means it has a lower environmental impact during the tanning process.
