FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, these are leather shoes and should not be machine washed. Clean them by wiping with a damp cloth.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with orthotics or fresh liners if needed.

What is the best way to keep the leather looking black?

Apply a high-quality black shoe polish periodically to cover scuffs and restore the color.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Start-Rite shoes generally follow standard UK children's sizing; however, always measure the child's foot before purchasing as growing feet require frequent checks.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber soles are designed for school use and provide good traction, though usage on specific indoor court surfaces should be tested.

Troubleshooting

Riptape no longer sticks securely

Check for lint or debris caught in the hook-and-loop fasteners and use a fine-toothed comb or brush to remove it.

Insoles feel damp or retain odor

Remove the insoles to air-dry them completely overnight and consider using a child-safe shoe deodorizing spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy for children to put on independently due to riptape
  • Reinforced bumpers protect against daily wear and tear
  • Breathable design keeps feet comfortable
  • Durable leather material ensures longevity

Cons

  • Leather requires occasional polishing to stay looking new
  • Limited to black colorway, which may not suit all style preferences
  • Not machine washable due to leather construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for infant foot development. Ensure the riptape is fastened snugly across the instep without being overly restrictive. For maintenance, wipe the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; if they get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Periodically remove the insoles to air them out, and use a leather conditioner or black polish to keep the material supple and maintain the deep black finish.
