Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Open the rip-tape fastenings completely.
- Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Fasten the rip-tape straps across the instep, adjusting for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure there is enough room for natural foot movement without slippage.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for kids (specifically female for this variant) and are ideal for school wear. They are available in UK children's sizes, such as size 10, to ensure a proper fit for growing feet.
Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Uppers: To keep the leather looking its best, wipe down the shoes regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a high-quality leather cleaner suitable for children's footwear. Finish with a black shoe polish or protector to restore shine and offer additional protection.
- Cleaning the Rip-Tape: Occasionally, debris or lint can accumulate on the rip-tape, reducing its effectiveness. Use a stiff brush or a pair of tweezers to carefully remove any build-up.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
