FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Crafton Vibe trainers?

The main benefit is their blend of sporty style, comfort, and durability, making them ideal for active kids' everyday wear.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

They are designed for general active play and everyday wear, offering good grip and support. For highly specialized sports, specific athletic footwear might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the suede and mesh parts?

Use a suede brush for the suede and a damp cloth for the mesh. For stubborn stains, specialized cleaners are recommended. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

What does 'TPR sole' mean?

TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a durable, flexible material used for the sole, providing good traction and stability.

Is the sizing accurate?

It is recommended to refer to Clarks' official sizing chart and measure your child's foot to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles to protect the suede material and ensure comfort.

What is the 'dad trainer' trend?

The 'dad trainer' trend refers to a style of sneaker inspired by chunky, comfortable, and often retro-styled athletic shoes previously associated with fathers in the late 80s and 90s. It's characterized by comfort, practicality, and a distinct visual design.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. If the laces are slippery, consider replacing them with a different material or texture.

Feet feel too warm

While the mesh lining offers breathability, ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material like cotton or wool blends. Check that the laces are not too tight, restricting air circulation.

Difficulty getting the shoe on

Loosen the laces considerably, especially around the ankle area, before attempting to put the shoe on. Ensure the child's foot is at its narrowest point when sliding in.

Tread appears worn quickly

Inspect the surfaces where the child typically plays. If playing predominantly on rough abrasive surfaces, normal wear and tear on the sole may be accelerated. Ensure the child is using the appropriate footwear for the activity.
