FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Magic Steps design is standard fit, but the adjustable riptape strap allows for some flexibility in securing the shoe on different foot shapes.

Can the insoles be removed?

The PU foam footbed is designed as a permanent part of the shoe construction for optimal support.

How do I know if the size 7 is the right fit?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe when they are standing.

Is the leather waterproof?

The leather is durable and water-resistant for daily school use, but it is not intended to be worn as a waterproof rain boot.

How often should I clean the shoes?

A quick wipe-down once a week is usually sufficient to remove daily grime and prolong the life of the leather.

Troubleshooting

Riptape strap is losing its grip

Use a small brush or tweezers to remove any lint or debris trapped in the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Scuff marks on the leather surface

Apply a small amount of black shoe cream or polish to the affected area and buff with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of these shoes, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove playground dirt and dust.
  2. Polishing: Apply a standard black leather polish periodically to keep the material supple and maintain the deep black finish.
  3. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
  4. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the lining.
  5. Fit Check: Since children grow quickly, verify the fit of the size 7 shoe every 4-6 weeks to ensure there is enough room in the toe box.
