Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Start Rite shoes, verify the fitment by checking that there is a small amount of wiggle room for the toes—toddler feet grow quickly, so re-measure every 6-8 weeks. To clean, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. For the patent finish, you can use a dedicated patent leather cleaner or a tiny drop of mild soap to restore the shine, then buff gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
