FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the specialized FuelCell foam and the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is recommended.

Is the size UK 4.5 standard?

Yes, these follow standard UK children's sizing for a precise athletic fit.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The FuelCell Rebel line generally offers a standard width. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to ensure they wear thinner socks to accommodate the fit.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with orthotics if required by a professional.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for air circulation and is not water-resistant.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Teach the child the 'double knot' method or replace with elastic laces if necessary.

Build-up of dirt on the grey upper

Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift stains from the textile mesh.

Shoes feel tight after a few months

Children's feet grow quickly; check the insole alignment and ensure the sock liner is pushed all the way to the heel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally lightweight design
  • High-rebound cushioning for added comfort
  • Versatile style suitable for school or sport
  • Durable build quality for active play

Cons

  • Light-colored grey fabric may show dirt easily
  • Requires proper lacing for optimal support
  • Not intended for heavy-duty professional sporting use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, always ensure the laces are tied with a double knot if the child is particularly active to prevent tripping and maintain a secure fit. Compatibility is best with standard athletic socks; thicker cotton socks may cause the shoe to feel too tight. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Never place these trainers in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the integrity of the foam cushioning and the adhesive bonds in the construction.
