Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Open Riptape: Unfasten both `riptape` straps completely.
- Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Adjust Fit: Secure the lower `riptape` strap across the arch of the foot, then fasten the upper strap to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure straps are firm but not overly tight.
- Check Comfort: Have your child walk a few steps to confirm the shoes feel secure and comfortable, with no pinching or slipping.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for infant and primary school-aged children (male gender specified, but unisex in other variants) and are perfectly suited for daily school wear, active playground use, and general casual outings. Their durable construction makes them ideal for environments where shoes need to withstand significant activity.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning Leather: For general cleaning, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for children's shoes. Always follow the product instructions.
- Conditioning Leather: Regularly apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple, prevent drying, and maintain its appearance. This is crucial for maintaining the durability and look of the leather.
- Odour Control: The `Microban` lining helps control odors, but for best results, allow shoes to air out naturally after wear. Avoid storing them in damp or enclosed spaces.
- Outsole Care: Brush off any mud or debris from the outsole regularly to maintain optimal traction. Use a damp cloth if necessary.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
