FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for new walkers?
Yes, their 'super bendy' design and soft suede upper provide essential comfort and flexibility, supporting natural foot movement and development crucial for new walkers.
How do I choose the correct size for my infant?
Measure your infant's foot length from heel to the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the adidas infant size chart. It's often recommended to allow a little extra room for growth and comfort.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While they can withstand light moisture, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions. For best care and longevity, avoid extensive exposure to water. Using a water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.
What is the best way to clean the suede?
For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser. Always follow the product's instructions and avoid machine washing.
Are the laces on these trainers adjustable?
The laces are elastic, designed for easy stretching to allow for convenient on and off. They are not traditional tie laces and are not intended for manual adjustment once on the foot.
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These specific trainers are designed for the infant age group, typically ranging from newborns to early toddlers who are beginning to walk.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on infant's foot.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched to open the shoe collar as wide as possible. Gently wiggle the foot in, starting with the toes.
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser following its instructions.
Infant's foot slips out of the shoe.
Check if the shoe size is appropriate. If the shoe is too large, the foot might slip out. Ensure socks are not too slippery or bulky, which can affect the fit.
Shoes seem too tight or uncomfortable.
Infant feet grow rapidly. Regularly check your infant's foot size. It might be time to size up. Also, ensure socks are not too thick for the shoe's fit.

Compatibility

Care
The suede material of these trainers requires specific care to maintain their quality and appearance:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray designed for footwear. This helps repel water and stains.
- Cleaning Loose Dirt: Use a dedicated suede brush (a soft bristled brush) to gently brush off any loose dirt or dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the suede's nap.
- Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn marks or minor stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser. Follow the product instructions carefully. Gently rub the affected area.
- Wet Stains: If the shoes get wet, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Drying: If the shoes become thoroughly wet, stuff them lightly with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape as they dry.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the suede and the shoe's construction.
