FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The suede upper is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, these trainers are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How do I clean the Cloudfoam sole?
The Cloudfoam sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the sole is dry before storing.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These are listed as kids' trainers, suitable for children who wear a UK size 3.5. The design appeals to a younger demographic.
Can these be used for specific sports?
While durable for general play, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not specialized sports shoes for high-impact or technical sports.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure your child's foot at the end of the day, as feet tend to swell. Use the provided size chart and adjust the chunky laces for a snug yet comfortable fit, ensuring there's a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
What is the main difference between this and classic Grand Court shoes?
The Grand Court Alpha features a more modern, chunky design compared to the sleeker, classic Grand Court silhouette. It also incorporates Cloudfoam technology for enhanced cushioning and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Dirt or scuff marks on suede
Use a suede eraser or a soft, dry brush to gently remove the mark. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, and always brush afterward to lift the nap.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot. If the laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones that offer better grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the lacing to relieve pressure points. Ensure the correct size has been purchased. The padded tongue should provide comfort, but check its positioning.
Shoes appear dull or worn
After cleaning, use a suede brush to restore the texture and color. Applying a suede protector can help maintain the finish and protect against future fading.
