FAQs

What does 'G Fit' mean?

'G Fit' typically refers to the standard or average width fitting for children's shoes, designed to accommodate most foot shapes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when they walk. The shoe should feel snug but not tight.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the best way to clean the suede parts?

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be used cautiously.

Are these shoes suitable for a child who has just started walking independently?

Yes, the Zap 2V is specifically designed as a pre-walker shoe, offering the flexibility, support, and lightweight feel ideal for babies gaining confidence with their first steps.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of a man-made material, designed to be flexible and provide good grip for little feet.

How often should I check the fit of my child's shoes?

Children's feet grow rapidly. It is recommended to check the fit every 2-3 months, or sooner if you notice signs of discomfort or the shoes becoming too tight.

Troubleshooting

Shoes seem too tight or too loose

Adjust the rip-tape fastenings. Ensure the correct size has been selected; check for about a thumb's width of space at the toe. If the width is an issue, the 'G Fit' may not be suitable for your child's foot.

Leather looks dry or scuffed

Clean with a damp cloth. For dry leather, apply a small amount of appropriate leather conditioner. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth. For suede areas, use a suede brush.

Child is hesitant to walk in the shoes

Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are comfortable. Allow your child to get used to wearing them for short periods indoors before longer outings. Sometimes, the novelty of new shoes can cause initial hesitation.

  • Designed specifically to support first steps.
  • Stylish denim leather appearance.

Cons

  • The 'G Fit' may be too narrow for wider feet.
  • Leather requires specific care to maintain its condition.
  • Primarily designed for indoor or light outdoor use.
  • Limited availability in very small or larger toddler sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no assembly. Ensure the correct size is selected for your child's foot. Use the rip-tape fastenings to adjust the fit snugly but comfortably.

Compatibility:

The Zap 2V is designed for infants and toddlers. The 'G Fit' is suitable for average-width feet. Ensure the shoe fits properly by checking for adequate toe room (about a thumb's width) and a secure heel.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with absorbent paper or a soft cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Consider using a suitable leather protector spray (tested on an inconspicuous area first) to help maintain the leather's condition and water resistance, especially for the suede sections.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag.
