Open Fasteners: Fully open the hook-and-loop (velcro) straps on each shoe.
Position Foot: Gently guide your toddler's foot into the shoe, ensuring their heel is seated properly at the back.
Adjust Fit: Secure the velcro straps across the top of the foot. Ensure they are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement. You should be able to slide a finger easily between the strap and your child's foot.
Check Toes: Press down on the front of the shoe to feel for your toddler's longest toe. There should be about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to allow for growth and movement.
Age Group: Designed specifically for toddlers.
Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all toddlers.
Sizing: Available in UK children's size 8 (and other sizes as variants). Always refer to a size chart and measure your child's foot for the best fit.
Occasion: Ideal for casual wear, playdates, park visits, and everyday activities.
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the canvas and suede areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Consider a suede protector spray for added resistance against stains and moisture.
Canvas Care: For canvas areas, a gentle scrub with a soft brush and mild detergent mixed with water can help remove tougher stains.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not tumble dry.
Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Velcro Maintenance: Regularly clean any lint or debris from the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure they maintain their strong grip. Use a stiff brush or a pick to remove trapped fibers.
