FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to clean the leather surface with a damp cloth only, as machine washing can damage the adhesive and material.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

They offer standard support suitable for infant foot development during daily casual activities.

What is the closure system?

They utilize a hook-and-loop closure, which provides a secure fit and is easy for parents to manage.

Can these be worn outside?

Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for traction on both indoor and outdoor surfaces.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for infants; however, it is always best to measure your child's foot with socks on before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Straps not staying secure

Clean the hook-and-loop material with a small brush to remove lint, hair, or debris that may prevent the hooks from gripping.

Scuffs on leather surface

Use a leather-safe cleaner or a gentle wipe to buff out light scuffs, then apply a conditioning cream to maintain material flexibility.

Difficulty putting the shoe on

Ensure the straps are fully opened and the tongue is pulled forward before sliding the child's foot into the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box with no complex setup required. To ensure a long life for the leather upper, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals during cleaning. Instead, wipe away dirt and surface dust with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each use. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack. Regularly check the straps for debris to ensure the hook-and-loop closure maintains its grip.
