FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Galaxy 8 features a standard fit. The lace-up closure provides some flexibility for adjustment, but they are designed around a standard anatomical profile.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can compromise the cushioning materials and structural integrity. Hand cleaning is best.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They offer neutral support suitable for most children's growing feet, centered around the cushioning of the Cloudfoam midsole.
Are they waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through during rain or wet conditions.
What is the primary material of the sole?
The sole is made of a non-marking rubber compound designed to provide grip on various surfaces without leaving residue.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Galaxy 8 series is designed as unisex footwear, suitable for any child based on the UK sizing provided.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Ensure the laces are tied with a double knot or look for aftermarket elastic no-tie laces if the child struggles to keep them secure.
Insole sliding during activity
Remove the insole, clean any debris from the bottom of the shoe, and ensure the insole is pressed firmly back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure the laces are loosened entirely before sliding the foot in, then tightened snugly across the bridge of the foot. For maintenance, remove loose dirt from the outsole with a soft-bristled brush after outdoor use. If the mesh upper becomes stained, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid putting these trainers in the washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can damage the foam midsole and adhesive bonds. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the shoe's shape and integrity.
