FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These trainers have a standard width. The double Velcro closure allows for some adjustment, but if your toddler has significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible.

What material are these trainers made of?

The description indicates a suede material for the upper, combined with vulcanized rubber for the sole.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

Measure your child's foot from heel to the longest toe and compare it to the UK sizing chart. The specific size for this product is 3.5 UK Child.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

While the waffle outsole provides grip, the suede material is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main benefit of the double Velcro closure?

The double Velcro closure offers a more secure and customizable fit compared to a single strap, and it makes the shoes very easy for toddlers to manage themselves.

What does 'vulcanized construction' mean for the shoe?

Vulcanized construction refers to a process where the rubber sole is bonded to the shoe's upper under heat and pressure. This creates a durable, flexible, and water-resistant bond.

Troubleshooting

Velcro not sticking

Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently brush the Velcro hooks and loops if necessary.

Shoes appear small

Refer to the size guide and ensure the child's foot is measured correctly. Compare against the UK sizing provided.

Tread wear on outsole

Normal wear and tear is expected with active use. If excessive wear occurs prematurely, check for any manufacturing defects.
