Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These shoes are built on a standard width fitting; they may not be ideal for children who require specific wide-fit shoes.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather structure and the internal adhesives. Always hand-clean using a damp cloth.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or for better ventilation and cleaning.

What age group are these for?

The Hat Trick series in this size range is specifically designed for infants.

How do I measure for the correct size?

We recommend visiting a professional shoe fitting service to ensure accurate sizing, especially for growing infants.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, Start-Rite uses high-quality leather for their uppers to ensure comfort and durability.

Troubleshooting

Riptape losing stickiness

Use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove any lint, hair, or debris trapped in the hook-and-loop fibers.

Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt

Remove the included removable insoles to gain a small amount of extra depth, though ensure the child's toes still have adequate room.

Scuff marks on leather

Apply a matching black shoe polish or cream to buff out surface scratches and restore the color uniformity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to secure riptape closure promotes self-dressing
  • High-quality leather construction for long-term comfort
  • Rubber soles offer superior grip for active environments
  • Removable insoles allow for easier cleaning and customization

Cons

  • Limited to a standard width fitting
  • Leather requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance
  • Riptape may lose adhesion effectiveness over many years of heavy use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before the first wear, ensure the shoe fits comfortably with a small amount of wiggle room for the toes. To maintain the leather's longevity, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove playground dirt. Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking. If the shoes get soaked in rain, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly; avoid placing them directly on radiators or heat sources, as extreme heat can damage the leather and the adhesive on the riptape fastenings.
