Full details
The Start-Rite Enchant sandals are designed for infants and children who need reliable, comfortable footwear for warm weather activities. Crafted from soft leather, these sandals prioritize foot health by allowing breathability and providing necessary heel support, making them an excellent choice for active summer play.

FAQs
Are these sandals machine washable?
No, these are made from genuine leather and should not be machine washed. Clean them by hand with a soft cloth.
Can I use these for school?
These are primarily designed as summer sandals for casual wear, though they are suitable for nursery or outdoor play.
Do the sandals provide good arch support?
The sandals include cushioned insoles and heel support to promote healthy foot development for children.
How do I know if they are the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of wiggle room for the toes and that the heel sits securely in the heel cup.
Can the leather get wet?
While the materials are high-quality, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.
Are the buckles easy for children to do themselves?
The buckle design is primarily intended for adult assistance, providing a more secure fit than typical velcro.
Troubleshooting
Buckles are difficult to fasten
Ensure the child is seated comfortably and the foot is positioned flat. Check for debris in the buckle hole.
Leather looks dull
Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth, allow to dry, and apply a small amount of leather conditioner.
Sandal feels tight during the day
Loosen both buckle straps slightly to accommodate natural foot swelling caused by warm temperatures.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality breathable leather
- Dual buckles allow for a customized, secure fit
- Moisture-wicking lining prevents sweat buildup
- Lightweight design promotes natural movement
- Provides essential heel support for growing feet
Cons
- Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic materials
- Buckle fastenings may take longer to secure than velcro
- Limited to warm-weather use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the heel is tucked firmly into the back of the sandal before adjusting the buckles. The Enchant series is designed for infants and children; verify the sizing (UK 7 to 11.5 available) using a standard foot gauge as children's sizes change rapidly.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
- If the leather becomes damp, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking.
- Use a neutral leather cream occasionally to keep the material supple.
- Avoid submerging the sandals in water.
