FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to hand clean these shoes with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the vulcanized rubber and adhesive.

Do these come in other sizes?

Yes, the series includes multiple size options for children, though availability depends on current inventory.

Is the material waterproof?

The upper is made of a heavy-duty canvas, which is durable but not inherently waterproof or water-resistant.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to standard UK children's sizing. If the child is between sizes, consider a slightly larger size to account for thicker socks.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they are durable for daily wear and play, they are casual lifestyle trainers and do not provide the high-performance arch support or motion control required for specialized sports like basketball or running.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

The wide, flat laces can be slippery; ensure you are using a double knot to maintain tension throughout the day.

Dirt stuck in the sole grooves

Use a stiff-bristled brush to knock out dried mud or pebbles from the vulcanized tread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability from the vulcanized rubber sole
  • Superior underfoot comfort via OrthoLite inserts
  • Iconic '90s-inspired design that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Secure fit provided by wide, flat laces and oversized eyelets

Cons

  • The heavyweight canvas upper may feel stiff initially
  • Low-top design offers less ankle support compared to high-top versions
  • Black colorway may show dust or lint more easily than lighter fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Break-in: Due to the heavy-duty nature of the upper, wear them for short periods during the first few days to allow the fabric to soften to the foot shape.
  • Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can affect the adhesive bonds of the rubber sole.
  • Lacing: The oversized eyelets work best with the included wide laces; ensure they are tied securely to prevent the tongue from sliding.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the rubber to warp or dry out over time.
