FAQs
Are the CAMPER Twins shoes truly mismatched?
Yes, the CAMPER Twins concept is based on opposite yet complementary shoes, meaning each shoe in a pair has a unique design, while still forming a cohesive pair.
Can I wash these ballerinas in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoes.
What is the benefit of the removable EVA footbeds?
Removable footbeds allow for easier cleaning, drying, and the option to insert custom orthotics for personalized comfort and support.
Are these shoes suitable for very active play?
While durable for everyday wear, these ballerinas are best suited for walking and light activities. For intense running or sports, more robust footwear like sneakers might be preferable.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the product's size guide and measure your child's foot length. It's recommended to trace the child's foot on paper and measure from heel to the longest toe.
What does '20% recycled rubber' mean for the outsole?
It means that 20% of the material used in the rubber outsole is derived from recycled sources, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable bag. Avoid damp environments and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff on arrival.
Leather will soften with wear. Gently flex the shoe by hand before the first wear and encourage natural movement during the first few wears.
Difficulty removing or reinserting the EVA footbed.
Ensure the shoe is dry. Gently pull the footbed straight out or push it firmly into place. Avoid forcing it at an angle.
Leather shows minor scuffs.
Small scuffs on leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider a matching color leather conditioner or cream, testing first.
Child is hesitant about the mismatched design.
Explain the concept of 'Twins' and individuality. Point out how each shoe is special. Gradually introduce them and praise their unique style.
