FAQs
Are these trainers machine washable?
It is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the materials and adhesives.
Can these be used for running?
Yes, they are suitable for casual running and general athletic activities, though they are not designed for professional-level distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Measure the child's feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, ensuring about 10-15mm of room at the toe.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They feature a textile upper, which is breathable but not waterproof; they will absorb water if submerged or used in heavy rain.
Do these trainers have arch support?
They include a comfortable textile sockliner that provides basic support suitable for standard foot development in children.
Can I replace the insoles?
The included sockliner is designed for comfort, but you can replace it with an orthotic insert if recommended by a professional.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot or verify that the size is correct for the child's foot growth.
Loss of traction on smooth surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for buildup of debris or mud and clean with a damp brush.
Odour buildup inside the shoe
Remove the insoles to air out the shoes after heavy use and consider using a shoe deodorizer spray safe for textiles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your adidas Galaxy 8 Trainers requires proper sizing and maintenance. Ensure that there is a thumb-width of space at the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot growth. To maintain the shoes, avoid putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives. Instead, wipe the upper down with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber outsole, use a soft-bristled brush to remove any trapped dirt or debris. Always allow your shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials.
