Full details

Featuring a breathable mesh upper and a signature Cloudfoam EVA midsole, these shoes provide essential cushioning for all-day play and school activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for general activity and light play; they provide good support for recreational running but are not specialized professional running shoes.
Are the outsoles truly non-marking?
Yes, the rubber compound is engineered to provide grip on indoor surfaces like gym floors without leaving black scuff marks.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK children's size guide and ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe for growth.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand to preserve the structural integrity of the cushioning and the fabric upper.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The mesh upper is breathable, meaning it is not waterproof and may let water through in heavy rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Teach the child a double knot or consider replacing the laces with elastic laces for a permanent slip-on fit.
Accumulation of debris in the mesh
Gently tap the soles together outside to dislodge particles, or use a soft-bristled brush to clear the mesh weave.
Odour buildup
Remove the sockliner after use to air it out and use an antibacterial shoe spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for the adidas Galaxy 8 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are tightened appropriately so the heel remains secure without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt and mud using a soft, dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Always air-dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the synthetic materials and the EVA midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading and breakdown.
