FAQs
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
This certification means that every component of the product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore harmless for human health. It ensures the textile products are safe for children's sensitive skin.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but the standard width is best suited for average-width feet. For wider feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
Due to the 100% cotton material, these trainers are not ideal for wet weather as cotton absorbs moisture and can become waterlogged. They are best suited for dry conditions.
How do I know if the UK 12.5 size is correct?
It's always best to measure your child's foot and compare it to a reliable kids' shoe size chart. Generally, a UK 12.5 is for a child’s foot length of approximately 20.4 cm.
Are there other colors available in this style for kids?
While this specific listing is for beige, Bensimon often offers variations in color. Please check other product listings or the brand's official website for availability in different colors for kids' trainers.
How durable is the rubber sole for active play?
The rubber sole is designed for everyday wear and offers good durability for general play like running and walking. For very strenuous or rough activities, additional support or specialized footwear might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff after cleaning
Ensure the shoes are air-dried naturally and not exposed to direct heat. Gentle conditioning with a cotton-safe product might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Check that the laces are the correct length and material. If they are slippery, consider replacing them with cotton laces for better grip. Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris.
Discoloration on the cotton material
Spot clean with a mild soap and damp cloth. Avoid harsh bleaching agents. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with cotton footwear.
