FAQs
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's foot length and width accurately. Children's feet can grow quickly, so check the fit regularly, especially around the toe area (allow about a thumb's width of space).
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended. Allow them to dry thoroughly if they get wet.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Wipe down the leather after each significant wear to remove dirt and dust. A more thorough cleaning with leather cleaner can be done periodically as needed.
What is Microban technology?
Microban is an antimicrobial technology that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the shoes smelling fresher for longer.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These shoes are designed for general everyday wear and comfort, not for high-impact sports. For athletic activities, specialized sports shoes are recommended.
What is the benefit of the 'Cats tongue' material?
The 'Cats tongue' material is located on the inside of the heel to provide grip, helping to keep the foot from slipping out of the shoe during movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Leather can sometimes stretch slightly with wear, but significant tightness indicates an incorrect fit. Try wearing with thinner socks.
Leather scuff marks
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or cleaner may help. For deeper marks, a professional leather repair service might be needed.
Foot odor persists
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Consider using antiperspirant foot spray.
Sole becoming detached
Minor detachment may be repairable by a cobbler. Significant damage may indicate the shoe has reached the end of its lifespan.

- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid excessive water. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
