FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend hand-cleaning with a damp cloth to protect the structural integrity of the rubber sole and canvas material.
What is the sizing fit for these trainers?
These trainers feature a standard width fitting designed for average infant foot proportions.
Can these be worn in the rain?
While the rubber sole provides grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the end of the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these suitable for first walkers?
Yes, they are designed to offer the support, flexibility, and grip required for infants taking their first steps.
Troubleshooting
Riptape fastening is no longer sticking securely
Remove lint, threads, or dust trapped in the hook-and-loop fabric using a small brush or tweezers.
The shoe feels too tight on the child
Check the child's foot size, as rapid growth often occurs in infants; if toes are bunched, it is time for a larger size.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy-to-use riptape makes putting shoes on wiggly feet simple
- Lightweight canvas construction prevents feet from overheating

Cons
- Canvas material may stain more easily than leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, check the fit regularly as infant feet grow rapidly. The riptape should be pulled tight enough to keep the shoe secure on the heel without restricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the canvas or rubber.
- If the shoes become very dirty, use a mild, ph-neutral soap and a soft brush to gently scrub the canvas, then rinse and air dry.
