Product Information

Full details

The Start-Rite Action Low Shoes are designed for active infants who need a blend of long-lasting comfort and rugged durability during the school day. These leather shoes feature a high-traction rubber sole and a convenient riptape fastening system for a secure fit, though they are specifically styled as low-top school footwear and may not provide the ankle support of higher-cut boots.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, these are leather shoes and should not be placed in a washing machine as it can damage the material and construction.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with orthotics or new insoles if necessary.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The riptape fastening allows for a good range of adjustability, though fit varies by child.

What should I do if the leather gets wet?

Stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated room, away from direct heat.

How do I know if they are the right size?

There should be a small amount of room at the front for toe movement; check the manufacturer's size guide for specific UK size conversions.

Troubleshooting

The riptape is no longer sticking securely

Check for lint or debris caught in the hook-and-loop fabric and use a stiff brush to clear it out.

Shoes are feeling tight

Remove the included insoles to create a slightly roomier fit as the child's feet grow.

Scuffs appearing on the leather

Clean the area and apply a small amount of black shoe polish or a leather conditioner to buff out the mark.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather material for long-term use
  • Easy riptape fasteners promote independence
  • Excellent grip provided by the rubber sole
  • Removable insoles allow for a customized, adaptable fit

Cons

  • Low-top design lacks ankle support found in boot styles
  • Leather requires regular maintenance to stay looking new
  • Limited to specific school-appropriate styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Start-Rite shoes last, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Always ensure the riptape is kept clean of debris so it continues to stick properly.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove daily dirt.
  2. Apply a neutral shoe polish periodically to keep the leather hydrated and prevent cracking.
  3. Remove the insoles occasionally to air them out or clean them if they become damp.
  4. Allow the shoes to dry naturally if they get wet, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from hardening.
