FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the Galaxy 8 series is designed as an athletic trainer, making it well-suited for general running and active play.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the adhesives and the cushioning properties of the foam.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
While they feature the comfortable Cloudfoam midsole, they are neutral trainers and do not provide specific medical-grade arch correction.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK children's sizing, but it is always best to measure the child's foot using a standard sizing gauge.
Will the soles mark indoor floors?
No, these trainers feature a non-marking rubber outsole specifically designed to be used on indoor gym floors without leaving marks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose even when laces are tight
Ensure the lace-locking technique is used or consider an insole insert if the shoe volume is too high for the child's foot.
Outsole loses traction
Check the rubber treads for trapped debris or pebbles and clean them out to restore grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent cushioning from Cloudfoam technology
- Lightweight and breathable design for all-day comfort
- Non-marking sole makes them ideal for school PE classes
- Versatile style suitable for sports or casual wear
Cons
- Not intended for heavy wet-weather or muddy conditions
- Lace-up closure may be challenging for younger children who cannot tie laces
- Requires regular cleaning to keep fabric surfaces looking new
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, check that your child has approximately a thumb's width of space between the end of the longest toe and the front of the shoe. Because these trainers use a traditional lace system, ensure the laces are threaded properly to provide even tension across the bridge of the foot.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after outdoor play.
- Clean the midsole using a damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuffs.
- Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can warp the cushioning materials.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the upper and sole adhesive.
