FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool V offers a standard fit. While the hook-and-loop straps allow for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for exceptionally wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the white rubber sole?
The white rubber sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or specialized shoe cleaner can be effective.
What is the main benefit of the hook-and-loop closure?
The primary benefit is ease of use for toddlers and parents, allowing for quick and secure fastening without the need for laces.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What size should I choose for my toddler?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. It's often best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the given measurements, as sizes can vary between brands.
Are these waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes difficult to put on.
Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are fully open. Gently insert the child's foot, ensuring the heel is seated correctly before fastening the straps.
Suede looks matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For persistent marks, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.
Traction seems reduced.
Check the waffle outsole for embedded debris like mud or small stones. Clean the sole with a brush or damp cloth.
