Product Information
Full details
The adidas Galaxy 8 trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, comfortable shoe that transitions easily from the classroom to the playground. These versatile trainers offer consistent support and a durable build, making them an ideal choice for everyday wear; however, because they feature a white-dominant color scheme, they may require more frequent cleaning to keep them looking pristine compared to darker footwear models.

FAQs
Are these trainers machine washable?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine. Surface cleaning with a damp cloth is the best method to maintain the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are the Galaxy 8 trainers good for long-distance running?
While these are excellent for general activities and play, they are classified as lifestyle trainers rather than professional-grade long-distance running shoes.
Can I remove the insoles to add orthotics?
The insoles in many athletic trainers are removable; however, doing so may affect the intended cushioning profile of the shoe.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Galaxy 8 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for children. It is always best to measure your child's foot with a small amount of 'growth room' in the toe area.
What is the best way to dry these if they get wet?
Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with crumpled paper towels can help them retain their shape while absorbing excess moisture.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Use a double-knot technique and ensure the laces are pulled through the eyelets evenly.
Persistent dirt marks on the white upper
Use a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Pros and Cons

- Light-colored materials are prone to showing dirt

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Galaxy 8 trainers, verify that the laces are tightened appropriately—not too loose to prevent tripping, but not so tight as to restrict circulation. Since these are a unisex design, they are compatible with standard foot shapes.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down the upper materials with a soft, damp cloth after outdoor use to prevent dirt buildup.
- Do not submerge in a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and support structures.
- Allow the trainers to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause material cracking or shrinkage.
