FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the linen material and the structure of the trainers. Spot cleaning is recommended.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed to be integrated into the shoe; it is recommended to keep them in place for optimal comfort.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from linen, which is chosen for its lightweight and breathable properties.
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for children, but it is always best to use a measuring tool to confirm the child's current foot size.
Can these be used for sports like track and field?
While durable and comfortable, these are lifestyle trainers and are not specifically engineered for competitive athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning surface stains on the linen
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing aggressively.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or consider using a lace-lock accessory if the child struggles with traditional knots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers arrive pre-laced, setup is minimal—simply adjust the tightness to ensure a secure fit before the first use. To maintain the beige linen aesthetic, avoid machine washing, which can damage the fibers. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild detergent. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential yellowing or fading of the linen fabric over time.
