FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These shoes are designed for 'kids', specifically toddlers who are beginning to walk and require support for their first steps.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and then follow with a conditioner.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles and to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the fastening system?
The shoes feature a secure and easy-to-use riptape fastening, allowing for quick adjustments and a reliable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The riptape fastening offers some adjustability, but these shoes are generally designed for standard width feet. For very wide feet, it's advisable to try them on first.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber, providing excellent grip and flexibility for active toddlers.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should not slip excessively when walking.
Troubleshooting
Riptape not sticking well
Clean the riptape strips with a soft brush to remove lint and debris. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly before fastening.
Leather scuffs easily
Use a matching color leather cream or polish to cover minor scuffs. Apply conditioner regularly to maintain leather integrity.
Child seems uncomfortable
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check that the riptape is fastened securely but not too tightly. Consult a professional for sizing advice if unsure.
