FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the suede upper and the structure of the shoe. Stick to dry brushing and spot cleaning.

Are they suitable for wider feet?

The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but the standard fit is designed for average-width feet.

What is the purpose of the gum rubber sole?

The gum sole provides excellent indoor traction and is a staple of the classic handball aesthetic.

Can I use a protective spray on the suede?

Yes, a suede-safe water repellent spray can help protect the material from light moisture and dirt.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the child's foot from heel to toe and allow a small amount of 'wiggle room' for growth before consulting the sizing guide.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Consider a double knot or replacing the standard laces with slightly longer ones for better security.

Scuff marks on suede

Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to gently lift and remove surface scuffs.

Internal odour

Remove the insole if possible to air out, or sprinkle a small amount of baby-safe shoe powder inside.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for active use
  • Comfortable OrthoLite sock liner for all-day wear
  • Classic, versatile vintage design
  • Secure lace fastening ensures a reliable fit

Cons

  • Suede material requires delicate cleaning
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports or outdoor wet-weather play
  • Laces may be difficult for younger infants to manage independently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, ensure the laces are threaded properly to provide a snug fit across the arch without being too tight for the child. For care, it is essential to use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust or dry mud regularly. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can ruin the suede texture and compromise the adhesives. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from cracking or warping.
