FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft brush, as machine washing can ruin the suede and the fastening system.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the touch 'n' close fastening system allows you to adjust the tension across the top of the foot for a secure fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The 574 design generally offers a comfortable fit, but individual foot shape varies. The straps allow for some customization of the fit across the midfoot.
What is the primary material used?
The upper construction is primarily durable suede, chosen for its longevity and support.
Is the heel raised?
These trainers feature a flat heel design, which is intended to provide maximum stability for children during play.
Troubleshooting
Fasteners no longer stick securely
Use tweezers or a brush to clear any lint, dust, or hair buildup from the hook-and-loop material.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and lift away surface debris.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure the touch 'n' close straps are fully loosened when putting the shoe on; if it remains tight, check if the child's foot size has increased.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To ensure a proper fit, have the child stand on a piece of paper and trace their foot to compare with the size guide. Because these shoes feature suede, it is important to treat them with a suede-safe water repellent spray before the first use. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture and compromise the adhesive on the straps.
