FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather construction is naturally water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep puddles.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing can damage the structure and leather components. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Do these come in other colours?
This specific series is produced in black to meet school uniform requirements.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Your child should have enough room to wiggle their toes, and the heel should not slip when walking.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be removed for cleaning or to allow the shoe to dry faster.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
Troubleshooting
Straps losing grip over time
Clean out any lint or debris caught in the hook-and-loop fabric using a small brush or tweezers.
Scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a high-quality black leather cream or polish to nourish the hide and hide minor abrasions.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles to air out and use an antimicrobial shoe spray to freshen the interior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Start-Rite trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toes for growth; the rip-tape straps should be tightened until snug but not restrictive.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs, a matching black shoe polish can be applied to restore the finish.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly on radiators, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack or harden.
- Compatibility: These trainers are generally suitable for standard school uniforms due to their classic black profile.
