FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

Yes, they are built on a classic runner design, making them well-suited for everyday play and light running activities.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as heat and agitation can weaken the adhesives and damage the mesh construction.

What age group are these shoes for?

These are specifically designed for children, catering to various UK sizes within the kids' footwear range.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable, which is helpful if you need to insert custom orthotics.

How do I find the right size for my child?

Measure the child's foot from heel to toe while standing and compare it to our sizing guide to ensure the correct UK size is selected.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open knit mesh is designed for breathability and will not repel water or heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too snug after a few months

Check if the insole can be removed for extra room or verify if it is time to size up to the next available 740 variant.

Dirt stuck in the mesh material

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate the dirt while dry, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or replace them with elastic no-tie laces for a secure, low-maintenance fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retro, stylish 2000s-inspired visual identity
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet comfortable
  • Flexible midsole supports natural walking and running
  • Versatile design suitable for school or casual play

Cons

  • Grey and pink colourway may show dirt easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for immediate wear out of the box with standard lace-up or hook-and-loop security depending on the specific model. To ensure compatibility, verify the UK size matches your child's current foot measurements, allowing for a slight growth margin. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing as this can damage the mesh overlays. Instead, gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the materials.
