FAQs
What age group are these trainers for?
These specific trainers are designed for infants and are available in UK children's foot size 3.
How do I clean the leather material?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth for general dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers good for first walkers?
Yes, with their supportive leather construction and flexible sole, they are well-suited to provide comfort and stability for infants learning to walk.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, while durable, the leather material is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How often should I check my infant's shoe size?
Infant feet grow rapidly. It's recommended to check their shoe size every 6-8 weeks to ensure a comfortable and healthy fit.
What does 'BUNGEE' refer to in the product name?
The term 'BUNGEE' typically refers to an elasticated, non-tying closure system, which makes the trainers easy to slip on and off infant feet while providing a secure fit. (Info needed: confirm exact closure mechanism from product image/further details)
Troubleshooting
Trainers seem too tight or uncomfortable for my infant.
First, ensure you have the correct size. Infant feet grow quickly, so re-measure if necessary. Check if socks are too thick. Allow your infant to wear them for short periods initially to break them in, but if discomfort persists, a larger size may be needed.
The leather is getting scuffed or dirty quickly.
Leather is prone to scuffs from active play. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and help resist minor scuffs.
My infant refuses to wear the trainers.
Ensure the fit is correct and comfortable. Make putting on shoes a positive experience with praise or a small distraction. Sometimes, infants resist shoes simply because they are new; consistency often helps.
The trainers have an odor.
Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. If necessary, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and leave overnight, then tap it out. Ensure socks are worn to absorb moisture.
The bungee closure seems loose/tight (if applicable).
If the bungee is adjustable, try to adjust it for a snug yet comfortable fit. If it's a fixed elastic, ensure the overall size of the shoe is appropriate for your infant's foot width and instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Choosing the Right Size: Ensure you select the correct UK infant size 3 for your child. It's crucial for healthy foot development. Measure your infant's feet if unsure, as sizes can vary.
- Putting Them On: The bungee design (if it refers to an elastic, slip-on style) allows for easy on and off. Gently slide your infant's foot into the trainer, ensuring their heel is seated properly.
- Checking the Fit: Once on, check that there's a comfortable space around the toes and no pinching or rubbing. Your infant should be able to wiggle their toes freely.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for infants (age group specified) and are suitable for most everyday activities, light outdoor play, and casual wear. They are not designed for heavy-duty sports, extreme weather conditions, or activities requiring specialized footwear.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can stuff them with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
- Maintenance: Regularly check for any loose stitching or wear and tear, especially as infants are very active.
