FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap rather than machine washing to protect the longevity of the bonded outsole.
Can children wear these without socks?
Yes, the interior is lined with soft recycled cotton, making them comfortable for direct skin contact.
What does the Earthwise designation mean?
It means the product is part of an initiative to use earth-friendly materials, such as recycled cotton and sustainable insole components.
Are the outsoles non-marking?
The direct injected TPR construction is generally non-marking and suitable for indoor school floors.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally fit true to standard UK children's sizing, though children with wider feet may find the elastic gore offers a flexible fit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Ensure the elastic gore is fully stretched and the heel pull is utilized during entry.
Stains appearing on the cotton fabric
Treat fresh stains immediately with a gentle fabric cleaner and a damp cloth.
Loss of cushioning over time
If the insole feels compressed after heavy use, it may be time to replace them with a generic orthotic insole if needed.

Care Instructions:
- Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the cotton surface.
- Spot clean light stains with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid putting the shoes through high-heat drying cycles to prevent shrinkage or damage to the bonded outsole.
- Allow to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric colour.
