FAQs

What age group are these trainers best suited for?

These trainers are designed for kids, specifically in the 'kids' age group, with the listed size being UK 12.5.

How do I clean the leather parts of the trainers?

Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and textile components may not be fully waterproof. It's advisable to dry them thoroughly if they get wet and consider a waterproofing spray for the leather.

What is the heel height?

The trainers have a flat heel.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The uppers consist of 63% leather, 26% other materials, and 11% textile. The lining is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

How does the fastening system work?

The trainers feature a combination of touch 'n' close straps and laces, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

They are sports shoes and suitable for general athletic activities and active play due to their durable construction and rubber sole providing traction.

Troubleshooting

Touch 'n' close strap not sticking

Ensure the strap and the corresponding surface are clean and free from debris. Lint or dirt can reduce adhesion. Gently brush off any particles.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length. Consider using wax-coated laces for increased durability.

Leather scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a dedicated leather conditioner or cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Soles showing significant wear

Inspect for deep cuts or excessive thinning. If wear is moderate, ensure they are kept clean for optimal grip. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.

Care Instructions:

  • Uppers (Leather/Textile): Clean with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking.
  • Lining & Cushioning (Textile): Spot clean with mild soap and water. Ensure the interior is dry before wearing.
  • Sole (Rubber): Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  • General Care: Allow shoes to air dry naturally if they become wet. Do not expose to direct heat sources like radiators. It is recommended to treat leather components periodically with a suitable waterproofing spray to maintain their condition and resistance to the elements.
