FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically in younger children's UK sizes.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean away surface dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on a small area first. Avoid water on suede as much as possible.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool V generally has a standard fit. If wider feet are a concern, trying them on in person or checking customer reviews regarding fit may be helpful.
What does LWG certification mean for the leather?
LWG certification indicates that the leather used in these trainers comes from tanneries that are assessed for their environmental performance, including energy and water consumption and waste management.
Can these trainers be put in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, textile, and sole components of the trainers.
What is the main benefit of the touch 'n' close fastening?
The touch 'n' close fastening makes the trainers easy and quick for children to put on and take off themselves, providing a secure and adjustable fit.
Troubleshooting
Touch 'n' close straps not sticking
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently brush the hook and loop sides to remove lint or dirt. If the Velcro is worn out, it may need replacement.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Odd smell inside the shoe
Remove the insole (if possible) and air the shoes out in a well-ventilated area. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then vacuum it out in the morning.
