FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. For very wet weather, consider waterproof footwear.
How do I choose the right size for my toddler?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your toddler's foot from heel to toe. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose. The UK size 6 is suitable for toddlers with feet measuring approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm).
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the suede material and affect the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the waffle outsole?
The signature waffle outsole provides excellent grip and traction, helping to prevent slips and falls, which is especially important for active toddlers.
How often should I clean the suede?
Regularly brush off dry dirt. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when stains appear or the material looks visibly soiled.
What is the main advantage of the hook-and-loop closures?
The hook-and-loop closures make it very easy and quick for parents to put the shoes on and take them off their toddler's feet, and they allow for adjustable tightness.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop fastener not sticking well
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces with a small brush or a damp cloth to remove dirt and lint that may be hindering adhesion.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the waffle tread is clean and free of debris. The grip may also be reduced on extremely polished or wet surfaces.
