FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the best way to maintain the material.
What does the Earthwise designation mean?
Earthwise is a TOMS initiative that focuses on using recycled materials and energy-efficient manufacturing to reduce environmental impact.
Do these shoes have arch support?
They feature a custom comfort insole, but they are designed as casual flats and do not provide the high arch support of specialized athletic shoes.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The elastic gore allows for some flexibility in fit, but the cotton upper generally conforms to standard foot widths.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the standard UK children's sizing provided in the product specifications; consider measuring your child's foot length to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks to fill the volume, or consider adding a thin supportive insole if needed.
Visible dirt on cotton upper
Allow the mud to dry completely before gently brushing it off, then use a damp cloth to wipe remaining stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required. To ensure longevity, it is recommended to keep them away from deep mud or standing water, as the recycled cotton material can absorb moisture. If the shoes become dirty, spot clean the exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat may damage the integrity of the direct-injected outsole and the shape of the cotton upper. Air dry in a cool, shaded area.
