FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and the adhesives. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
How do I choose the right size for my toddler?
Refer to the standard UK sizing provided. We recommend measuring the foot with a small gap for growth, ensuring the shoe is secure but not restrictive.
Do these shoes have arch support?
The Old Skool V features a standard supportive footbed suitable for toddlers, but they are flat-sole trainers rather than orthopedic footwear.
Can the straps be replaced if they wear out?
While the straps are integrated into the design, proper maintenance and avoiding over-stretching will ensure they last throughout the life of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for wider feet?
The strap system is quite adjustable, which often makes these shoes a good fit for various foot widths compared to fixed-lace styles.
Troubleshooting
Straps not sticking properly
Clean lint or debris out of the hook-and-loop fasteners using a small brush or tweezers.
Surface stains on the purple fabric
Gently blot with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not scrub aggressively to avoid colour fading.
Shoe feeling too tight
Check that the internal tongue is aligned correctly and ensure the straps are loosened fully before entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for these trainers; simply adjust the straps to achieve a snug but comfortable fit across the instep. Ensure the shoe is not too tight, as toddlers need room for natural foot growth. To maintain the appearance of the purple fabric, brush away loose dirt after every use using a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, spot clean with mild detergent and a damp cloth, avoiding complete immersion in water to prevent damage to the glue bond. Always allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
