All of our children's shoes are water-repellent, so that water slides off the shoe without penetrating the interior, provided that the rain does not last too long. It is therefore important to waterproof your child's Newfeel shoes, with a waterproofing spray. This will also have the effect of protecting the shoes from dirt and grime! This process can be repeated each month.
It is possible to remove the insole from all of our shoes. The insole soaks up perspiration from your child's feet. It's designed to absorb the moisture that builds up over the course of the day. If you take it out, it will be able to dry faster. You will therefore prevent unpleasant odours whilst retaining the absorption properties of the insole, also known as "hygienic insole".
The outsole of our children's shoes can be cleaned easily with a damp sponge, without needing to rub them too hard! Remember to clean them regularly so that dirt doesn't build up and become encrusted in the material.
The "upper" of our children's shoes, that is, the part above the outsole, is coated with a water-repellent substance. You can therefore clean this part of the shoe as often as necessary using a soft, damp cloth, as for the outsole.
The Velcro fastenings should always be closed, whether the shoes are being worn or not, so that they retain optimum adherence. If dust and bits of grass manage to get stuck in them, they'll become less effective. Show your child how to do this, it is also very important in ensuring that their feet are supported.
TO CLEAN THE VELCRO FASTENINGS: FOLD THE SOFT PART IN HALF AND RUB BOTH HALVES TOGETHER. ANY DUST THAT HAS BUILT UP WILL FORM A BALL, SO ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PULL IT OFF BY HAND OR USING A PAIR OF TWEEZERS. THE OTHER PART, WHICH GRIPS THE SOFTER PART, CAN BE CLEANED USING A SMALL BRUSH.
There is a risk of damaging the glues and foams that make up the shoe.
