FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for first steps?
Yes, their flexible design and rubber outsole provide good support and grip, making them suitable for babies learning to walk.
How do I know the correct size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for infant shoes, measuring your child's foot from heel to toe. The size listed is UK sizing.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede material and the shoe's structure. Hand clean following the care instructions.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of soft, supple suede.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the design and colorway are unisex, suitable for both baby boys and girls.
What is the main advantage of the elastic laces?
The elastic laces allow the collar to stretch, making it much easier and faster for parents to get the shoes on and off a wriggly baby.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched and the collar is opened as wide as possible before attempting to slide the foot in. Check that the size is correct for the child's foot.
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner with a cloth, gently working on the stain. Let the shoes air dry completely away from heat.
Soles seem slippery.
The rubber outsole is designed for grip. If they appear slippery, ensure they are clean and free of debris. If the issue persists on very smooth surfaces, consider the environment where the shoes are being used.
