FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, you should not machine wash these trainers as the suede material can be ruined by excessive moisture and agitation.
How do I determine the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK children's sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the elastic laces with standard ones?
While the elastic laces are designed for convenience, you can replace them with standard laces if a tighter, manual fit is required.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
They are ideal for casual activities and everyday wear, though they are not specifically designed as high-performance technical athletic footwear.
Will the orange color bleed into the green?
The materials are designed to be colorfast under normal conditions, but avoid getting the shoes soaked, as water can potentially cause dye migration.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces feel too loose after extended use
Check if the internal elastic structure has stretched. If the fit becomes too loose, a cobbler may be able to replace the elastic cords with new ones.
Suede surface looks matted or dull
Use a soft suede brush to gently buff the nap of the material, which will help restore its original texture and appearance.
Surface stains appearing on the green suede
Do not rub with water. Use a dry suede eraser to gently work on the affected area, followed by a light brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear right out of the box. To ensure a long lifespan, it is essential to treat the suede material with a protective water-repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser to lift minor stains. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to harden or crack.
