FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Camper Peu Cami trainers are designed with a focus on natural foot movement, which can sometimes mean a slightly narrower fit compared to conventional shoes. While the leather will adapt slightly, they may not be the best choice for children with exceptionally wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider the fit carefully.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the Camper sizing guide or measure your child's foot from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the UK sizing provided. Allow for a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth.
What does Podoactiva certification mean?
Podoactiva certification indicates that the shoe's design has been reviewed and approved by podiatrists to ensure it supports healthy foot development, ergonomic construction, and natural movement for children's feet.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the EVA footbeds are removable. This allows for easy cleaning and the option to insert custom orthotics if prescribed by a podiatrist.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made of leather and rubber and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more often if the shoes are exposed to harsh weather conditions or frequent wear, to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
What is the benefit of the recycled rubber in the sole?
Using recycled rubber in the sole reduces environmental impact by repurposing materials. It still provides excellent durability, flexibility, and grip comparable to virgin rubber.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear too tight or narrow.
Ensure the laces or straps are fully loosened before putting the shoe on. Leather will naturally stretch slightly with wear. If persistent, consider if the shoe width is suitable for the child's foot shape.
Leather scuff marks appear.
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product following product instructions.
Foot odor develops.
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.
Sole shows signs of wear or separation.
Check for any loose threads or debris caught in the sole. If significant separation occurs, contact customer support for potential warranty or repair options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for unisex children's footwear. The removable EVA footbed allows for compatibility with custom orthotics if required, though it's best to consult a professional for specific fitting needs.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: After cleaning, apply a neutral or color-matched leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Inner Lining: The inner lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. The removable footbed can be taken out and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before reinsertion.
- Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
