FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While stylish and supportive, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. They are suitable for general play, but dedicated performance athletic footwear is recommended for high-impact sports.
How do I determine the right size?
These follow standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to allow for a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to account for growth.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert orthotics if required for additional support.
Will the red color bleed onto socks?
When new, it is possible for interior dyes to transfer if the shoes get wet. Wearing dark or color-coordinated socks is advised.
How often should I clean the leather?
Wiping them down after particularly muddy or dusty outings will prevent dirt buildup and help keep the leather supple.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a small amount of non-abrasive conditioner to buff out surface marks.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is used, or consider replacing them with elastic 'no-tie' laces if the child struggles with traditional tying.
Difficulty sliding foot into shoe
Always utilize the heel pull tab while loosening the top two eyelets to widen the opening before putting the shoe on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of these trainers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and crack the leather. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole, and wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the adhesive bonds and leather texture. Regularly check the laces to ensure they are tied securely to provide the intended ankle support.
