FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, because they are constructed with suede, machine washing is not recommended as it will permanently damage the texture and material.

How do I know if the size 6.5 is right for my child?

Check for a small gap between the toe and the front of the shoe. If the shoe feels too tight or leaves marks on the skin, you may need to size up.

Can these be worn outdoors?

They are suitable for casual outdoor play on clean surfaces, but the suede material is best kept away from wet, muddy, or extremely rough terrain.

Do these provide arch support?

They are designed with a focus on stability and natural growth, providing a gentle base suitable for first-walkers without rigid orthotics.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the construction is designed to be comfortable for all-day wear while supporting an infant's level of physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Hook-and-loop straps losing grip

Use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove lint, hair, or carpet fibers trapped in the hook portion of the fastener.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry eraser to gently buff the surface and restore the nap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple hook-and-loop closure saves time
  • Roomy toe box encourages healthy foot growth
  • Lightweight construction perfect for new walkers
  • Stylish, versatile grey colourway

Cons

  • Suede material is prone to staining
  • Not intended for heavy outdoor mud or water exposure
  • Hook-and-loop fasteners can collect lint over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, measure your child's foot in the afternoon, as feet tend to swell slightly during the day. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to allow for growth.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the material.
  • Spot Treatment: If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use.
