FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, these shoes should not be machine washed as it can damage the leather and the integrity of the sole adhesives.

Can the insoles be replaced?

Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to replace them with fresh ones or custom inserts as needed.

How do I determine the right size?

Please refer to standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to measure the child's feet in the afternoon when they are naturally at their largest.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

The shoes are designed with structural integrity suitable for daily school wear, though individual arch support needs can be addressed by swapping in orthotic insoles.

Are they water-resistant?

While the leather construction offers some protection against light rain, they are not classified as waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Fasteners losing stickiness

Clean the riptape hooks of lint or debris using a small brush or tweezers to restore original grip.

Shoes feel stiff when new

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; encourage short wear sessions at home to allow the material to soften to the foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, check the child's foot measurements against the specific UK size guide before purchase. Since these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged soaking in water. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Applying a suitable leather protector or polish can help maintain the black finish and repel water during wet weather conditions.
