FAQs
What materials are these trainers made from?
The main upper is made from 80% recycled PU, complemented by suede trims. The lining is synthetic, and the sole is made of rubber.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are inspired by court-sport designs and are suitable for light activities like playing in the park or walking. They are not designed for high-impact or professional sports.
What does 'standard fitting' mean?
Standard fitting means the shoes are designed for average-width feet. If your child has very narrow or very wide feet, they might require a different fit.
How do I adjust the hook and loop fastening?
Simply press the hook side onto the loop side to secure. To open, peel the hook side away from the loop side. Ensure both sides are clean for optimal adhesion.
Is the 80% recycled PU material durable?
Yes, the 80% recycled PU upper is designed to be durable for everyday wear and tear associated with children's activities.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, these trainers should not be machine washed, especially due to the suede material. Cleaning should be done manually following the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Hook and loop fastener not sticking
Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are free from dirt, dust, or debris. Gently brush the surfaces. If the loops or hooks are worn, effectiveness may decrease over time.
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid washing.
Trainer feels too tight
Ensure the correct size has been selected. These trainers have a standard fit; if your child has particularly wide feet, they might not be the most comfortable option.
