FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean these trainers by hand using a damp cloth and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up fastening allows for a significant amount of adjustment to accommodate various foot widths, though specific wide-width sizes may vary.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require additional orthotic support, the factory footbed can typically be removed and replaced with a custom insert.
Are they water-resistant?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for general everyday use, so avoid walking through deep puddles.
What is the best way to clean white parts of the shoe?
Use a mixture of baking soda and a little water to form a paste, apply it to the soiled area, let it dry, and brush it off gently.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Teach the child a double-knot method or replace the laces with slightly longer ones if the current length is insufficient.
Visible scuffs on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of water to gently buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is crucial for comfort. Ensure the child wears their preferred thickness of socks when sizing the trainers to account for the snugness of the lace-up closure. To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of the 408v1 trainers, follow these care steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the outsole.
- Spot Cleaning: Wipe the upper materials with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes.
- Air Drying: Always air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
