Product Information
Full details
The Geox Washiba Trainers are designed for young girls seeking a stylish and comfortable sneaker for school and leisure. Their key benefit lies in the easy Riptape fastening for quick on-and-off and a secure fit. A minor consideration is that they are specifically styled as low-cut basketball-type sneakers, which might not suit all outfit preferences. Key features include a leather-effect upper, a breathable lining, a cushioned insole, and a durable rubber sole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Washiba trainers feature a Riptape fastening which allows for some adjustability. However, they are designed with a standard fit, so they may not be ideal for very wide feet without trying them on first.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows for cleaning and the possibility of replacing them with custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar size and thickness.
What is the best way to clean the leather-effect material?
The leather-effect uppers (83% polyurethane, 17% polyester) should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the material.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are designed for comfort and breathability and are not advertised as waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light, occasional moisture but not for prolonged exposure to rain or puddles.
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, as indicated by the 'kids' age group attribute.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Geox or the retailer. Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe when the child is standing, and the heel should not slip excessively when walking. The Riptape should fasten comfortably without being too tight or too loose.
Can these be worn in very hot weather?
The trainers have a polyester lining and cushioning intended for breathability. While they are more breathable than fully synthetic sealed shoes, they are not specifically designed for extreme heat. Ensure feet are kept clean and dry to maximize comfort.
Troubleshooting
Riptape not sticking securely
Ensure the Riptape surfaces are clean and free from fluff or debris. Gently brush the hook and loop sides to restore their grip.
Shoes smell after wear
Remove the insole and air out the shoes regularly. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. For the insole, follow care instructions for washing and drying.
Discoloration on uppers
This may be due to normal wear or contact with certain substances. Try gently wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals that could cause permanent staining.
Sole becoming detached
Inspect the detachment area. For minor separation, a shoe repair adhesive might be a temporary fix. However, significant detachment may indicate excessive wear and require replacement.

Designed as children's footwear, these trainers are suitable for girls and intended for everyday casual wear, school, and light athletic activities. They pair well with jeans, shorts, skirts, and school uniforms.
Care:
