FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are constructed with leather, machine washing can damage the integrity of the material. Clean by hand with a soft cloth.
Is the 574 suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the 574 is built on a wider last than traditional racing shoes, making it a comfortable option for many foot shapes.
Can these be worn for sports?
While durable enough for casual play, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for competitive athletic sports.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Always measure the child's foot in the afternoon when feet are naturally at their largest, allowing for about 10-15mm of growing room.
Are these waterproof?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Use a specialized leather conditioner or cream to restore shine and buff out minor scuffs.
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser at the lower eyelets to provide more volume for the foot.
Laces coming undone frequently
Replace standard laces with elastic speed-laces or ensure a double-knot is used for better security during active play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is crucial for kids; ensure there is a small amount of thumb-width room at the toe for growth. Compatibility is broad, as these shoes work well with standard socks or thicker athletic socks depending on the season. To care for your leather 574s: remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use, treat with a leather-appropriate cleaner when necessary, and avoid machine washing, which can damage the natural leather materials. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
