FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with suede and mesh, which are breathable but will absorb water if exposed to significant moisture.

How do I determine the correct UK size for my child?

Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Clarks size guide, or refer to the UK size listed on the product.

Can the insoles be removed?

While not explicitly stated, the insoles are typically designed to be non-removable in trainers of this style. They provide built-in cushioning and support.

What is the benefit of the TPR sole?

The TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) sole is known for its durability, flexibility, and excellent grip, making it ideal for active children's footwear.

Is the green and grey colour combination available in other sizes?

This specific grey/green colourway is available in various sizes. Please check the product listing or sibling variants for other available sizes.

How should I clean the mesh lining?

The mesh lining can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoe. Ensure the inside is completely dry before the child wears them again.

Troubleshooting

Laces keep coming undone

Ensure laces are tied tightly using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a material that offers better grip if the issue persists.

Discoloration on suede upper

Use a suede eraser for light marks. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions precisely. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Faint odor inside the shoe

Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Remove insoles if possible and allow shoes to air out completely. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and tie them securely for a proper fit.

Compatibility:

Suitable for children with average-width feet. The lace fastening allows for some adjustment.

Care:

  • Wipe the suede upper with a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt.
  • For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
