FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for toddlers with wide feet?
The elasticated laces offer some degree of flexibility and stretch, which can accommodate various foot shapes. However, for a precise fit, it is always recommended to try them on your toddler or compare their foot measurements to the brand's size guide.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the suede material. Please follow the specific suede care instructions provided in this guide to clean them safely.
What size is UK 5 for toddlers in EU sizing?
The UK size 5 for toddlers typically corresponds to an EU size 21. Always refer to a specific size chart if available for the most accurate conversion, as sizing can sometimes vary slightly between brands.
Are these trainers good for active play and running?
Yes, these trainers are well-suited for light play and running. The durable gum rubber outsole provides good grip, and the soft suede material ensures comfort for active toddlers. They offer a stable base for children learning and perfecting their movement.
How often should I clean the suede material?
It is recommended to lightly brush the suede after a few wears to remove dust and maintain its appearance. A deeper spot clean should be performed as needed when visible marks or dirt accumulate. Regular, gentle care will extend the life of the trainers.
Will the color fade over time?
Like most suede products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially lead to some color fading over a very long period. Storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use can help preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
While elastic laces offer some flexibility, ensure you have the correct size for your toddler. Refer to the size chart or try them on to confirm the fit. Elastic laces provide comfort but do not offer extensive adjustment for width or tightness.
Suede appears dull, dirty, or has scuff marks.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For scuff marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Follow the care instructions for spot cleaning with a specialized suede cleaner if needed.
Trainer is slipping on smooth surfaces.
The gum rubber outsole is designed for good grip, but ensure the surface is clean and dry. Check the outsole for any embedded debris or significant wear that might reduce traction. For optimal safety, supervise toddlers on unfamiliar or potentially slippery surfaces.
Suede has water stains.
If water stains occur, allow the trainers to dry completely. Once dry, gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For stubborn stains, a professional suede cleaner or specialist may be required.

Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of the suede material.
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a specialized suede protector spray to help repel water and resist stains.
- Regular Brushing: After a few wears or if they appear dusty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Always brush in the same direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks or scuffs, use a dedicated suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of specialized suede cleaner. Gently blot and rub in small circular motions. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain, puddles, or very muddy conditions to prevent permanent damage or staining.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
