FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The hook-and-loop strap system allows for significant adjustability, making them accommodating for various foot widths.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, never put leather Vans in the dryer, as the heat will warp the sole and ruin the leather upper.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, environmentally-certified leather.
How do I know if they are the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the leather offers more protection than canvas, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to treat them with a leather-safe water repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Straps are losing their grip
Check the hook-and-loop surfaces for lint or debris. Remove any trapped particles using a small brush or tweezers to restore the bond.
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to remove dirt, followed by a matching color polish or a neutral leather conditioner to buff out scuffs.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy-to-use strap closure system for children
- Environmentally conscious material sourcing
- Sturdy construction for long-term wear
- Classic style that pairs well with any outfit
Cons
- Leather material is susceptible to scuffs and stains
- Not machine washable, requiring manual cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup; simply adjust the straps to the preferred tightness for the child's foot. To ensure compatibility, verify the UK size before ordering, as these are specifically sized for children.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after outdoor use to remove dirt and mud.
- Storage: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out over time.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not wash these shoes in a washing machine, as this will damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole.
