FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activity. They are not specialized for high-impact sports that require specific athletic footwear features.
How do I know if I've bought the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your child's longest toe and the end of the shoe when they are standing. The shoes should not feel tight or cause discomfort.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
Machine washing is not explicitly recommended as it may affect the materials. If necessary, use a gentle, cold cycle in a mesh bag and always air dry. Hand washing or spot cleaning is preferred.
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
This certification means that the textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It ensures the materials used are free from many dangerous chemicals.
How should I care for the cotton material?
Wipe with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a mild detergent and a soft brush, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the heel type?
These trainers feature a flat heel, which is ideal for children's developing feet and promotes a natural foot posture.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Double-knotting can also help. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Shoes seem too tight/loose
Adjust the lace tension. Loosen the laces if too tight, or tighten them if too loose. Ensure the correct size was purchased.
Discoloration or marks on cotton uppers
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush with a diluted detergent solution, then wipe clean. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Sole appears worn or detached
Check for minor wear and tear; for significant detachment, professional repair might be needed, or it may indicate the end of the product's lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up to fit your child's foot. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly to avoid discomfort.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for children and are compatible with casual wear, school uniforms, and everyday outfits. They are suitable for children aged from toddler to pre-teen.
Care:
- Cleaning Uppers and Lining: Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the cotton uppers, use a mild detergent and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. A toothbrush can be used for scrubbing dirt from textured areas.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources or tumble dry, as this can damage the cotton and rubber components.
- Washing Machine: While not explicitly recommended, if machine washing is attempted, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the shoes in a mesh laundry bag. Remove insoles and laces if possible. Always air dry afterward.
