No, this specific collaboration runs small. We recommend sizing up by half a size.

Can I return the shoes if I lost the charm?

No, returns will not be accepted if the detachable Care Bear charm is missing.

Is the material waterproof?

The upper is made of velvet, which is not waterproof. We advise against wearing these in rainy conditions to prevent staining and material damage.

Are these suitable for sports?

While based on a handball trainer, this version is intended for lifestyle and casual fashion use.

How do I attach the charm?

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too tight at the toes

This model runs small; if you have not worn them yet, consider exchanging for a half-size larger.

Velvet material looks dusty or matted

Use a soft-bristled brush or specialized suede/velvet brush to gently lift the fibers in the direction of the nap.

Missing the detachable charm

Check all packaging material thoroughly. If absent, contact the retailer immediately, as it is required for return processing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Includes a collectible detachable charm
  • Versatile low-cut silhouette for casual outfits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your sneakers, ensure you verify that the included Care Bear charm is present, as return eligibility depends on it. Because the shoe runs small, we suggest ordering a half-size larger than your standard measurement for an optimal fit. To care for the velvet upper, avoid heavy water exposure. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the vibrancy of the yellow color and the texture of the fabric.
