FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for primary school students?
Yes, they are designed for older boys and offer the support and durability needed for primary school environments.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from high-quality, dyed-through leather for superior durability and scuff resistance.
Does the shoe include the camouflage pattern as shown?
The product features a camouflage pattern, but please note that the heel panel may occasionally be plain fabric.
How do I ensure the breathability works effectively?
The Air-Rite linings work best when the shoes are allowed to dry out overnight; try not to leave them in a closed gym bag.
Is the sole hard or soft?
The sole is designed to be rugged and hard-wearing, yet lightweight and flexible to encourage natural foot development.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight
Adjust the tension of the laces across the bridge of the foot to allow for more volume.
Scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a black shoe cream or polish designed for dyed-through leather to blend in surface scuffs.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or ensure the lace material is dry before tying to prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Start-Rite Cadet shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the bridge of the foot without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after school to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the protective dye.
- Storage: Allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area overnight to maximize the efficiency of the Air-Rite lining system.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the lace eyelets and laces for wear. Replace laces if they show signs of fraying to maintain a secure fit.
