Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Initial Fit
The Disco Charm K shoes feature an elastic lace and riptape strap system.
- Unfasten Riptape: Open the riptape strap fully.
- Adjust Elastic Lace: While the elastic lace is fixed, ensure the tongue is centered and pulled up comfortably.
- Insert Foot: Guide the child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is snugly against the back.
- Secure Riptape: Fasten the riptape strap firmly across the instep. Adjust for a snug, comfortable fit that isn't too tight, allowing for natural foot flex.

- Gender: Unisex design.
- Surface: The durable outsole is suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor school surfaces.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe Down: Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- Deep Clean (Optional): For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Condition: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Polish: For a polished look, use a black shoe polish.
- Outsole Care: Clean the outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud and debris.
- Internal Hygiene: The Microban® lining helps with odour control, but for continued freshness, allow shoes to air out after wear. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators), which can damage the leather.
- Charms: The charms are removable. Consider removing them before cleaning or during very active play to prevent loss. Store them safely when not in use.
