FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the canvas and rubber.
What size is 4.5 in this model?
This is a UK children's size 4.5, designed for kids with growing feet.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, they feature OrthoLite cushioning which offers superior comfort and underfoot support compared to standard flat sneakers.
Is the canvas water-resistant?
No, the canvas upper is breathable and will absorb water, so they are best worn in dry conditions.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The canvas upper allows for a degree of flexibility, but generally fit true to size. The lacing system allows for some adjustment in width.
How do I maintain the shape of the shoe?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper when not in use to help maintain the form.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets with equal tension on both sides.
Canvas becoming dirty
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains.
Sole losing grip over time
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris that accumulates and reduces friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the canvas upper using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the rubber soles. When lacing, ensure the wide flat laces are threaded through the oversized eyelets evenly to distribute tension. These trainers are unisex and compatible with casual school attire, jeans, and shorts, offering a versatile silhouette for a wide range of youth styles.
