FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 series is built on a wider last than traditional racing shoes, providing more room than many standard children's trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural integrity of the shoe. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Are these trainers good for long-distance running?
While durable and comfortable, the 574 is designed for general everyday versatility rather than as a specialized long-distance performance running shoe.
What is the best way to keep the leather clean?
Wipe regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
Is the leather material breathable?
Leather provides better durability and protection than mesh but is less breathable, making it better suited for mild to cool weather.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows signs of scuffing
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Shoes become wet inside
Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the leather upper, it is important to wipe away mud and dirt with a dry brush after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the material. When not in use, store the trainers in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading. Ensure the correct sizing is verified for the child's foot as the 574 features a wider last compared to narrow racing-style sneakers.
