Yes! The Dubs Flex can be machine washed at 30 degrees or hand-wash cycle. The Dubs Glide is more suited for hand-wash.
However, for best results, we recommend hand-washing, with a little soapy water (and an old tooth brush!). It’s quicker, they come up cleaner and it's a little bit kinder to the planet!
Refer to our FAQ page for more details!
Yes!
Every size is individually graded and sized from the ground up, providing ample fitting and growing space for natural development and movement of little toes.
Our robust sole features a "window toebox," distinct from a 'fashion or sports toe box,' ensuring toes are protected and not squahed. Perfect for little heros with wide feet.
Our shoes measure true-to-size. Please Refer to our handy fitting guide to get the perfect fit.
Great question!
Our sugarcane sole is precisely that, the foundation of the shoe, crafted from the exceptional material, sugarcane.
This material is incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and highly flexible, making it the ideal sole for our little heroes' feet.
Most importantly, it's environmentally friendly. A natural, fully renewable resource that grows rapidly and even helps remove carbon from the atmosphere as it grows

Our kids love them
In the words of our eight year old (who has always been particularly fussy when it comes to shoe shopping) - they are 'the comfiest shoes ever' apparently.

Dancing Dubs!
Our 4 year old LOVES his dubs! From the minute he put them on he started dancing around the kitchen! He loves the two shades of blue and the fact he can do the Velcro straps on his own!
Big hit for little feet! Thank you 🤩

‘Run Faster Shoes’
My daughter LOVES her Dubs Glide trainers! They are known as her ‘run faster shoes’ in our house, as she says they are so comfortable they help her to run faster! They are her favourite shoes and I will definitely be buying the next size up once she outgrows them.

Happy feet
Super comfortable and mega stylish. Bought these first my eldest and the other two are looking forward to the time they get them as hand-me-downs.
Perfect compromise between looking a bit more grown up without needing to be able to do up laces to wear them.

Super comfy, super cool
My little one loves her Dubs! She found them so comfy, easy to put on and they look great. They're also super durable and still look like new after loads of wear. The box also provided hours of entertainment which was a bonus! Would defo recommend!

Same super comfy sole, awesome new leather + Velcro upper!
I’m a big fan of the original Dubs model so could not be more pleased that they have introduced a leather version for wet weather, and easy access.
They look super and have the same bouncy sole.
My kid is mega fussy about shoes, so any sign of niggles will put him off and he LOVES these.
Lightweight ✅
Easy for little ones to put on independently ✅
Bouncy sole ✅
Wide fit for growing toes ✅
Look wicked cool ✅
When the black version comes out, we’ll be school ready and all my shoe dreams will have come true.

The Best Trainers!
After buying and loving the original Dubs, we gave the Glides a go, and they didn't disappoint. My son absolutely loves them and refuses to wear any other trainers now! They are very comfy and he can put them on himself which is great for me! They also come up lovely in the wash. Highly recommend!

Super smart trainers!
I bought the blue version of these for my daughter and they’re great. They’re smart, light weight and comfy. The Velcro strap means she puts them on herself too! Would definitely recommend them.

Amazing shoes for school!
So thrilled to finally find school shoes that offer my son both comfort and style - we’ve been looking for shoes like this for years and I love the fact he can run around all day now without discomfort, and a huge plus they're made from sustainable materials too!

Best kids shoe EVER!!
Our energetic 3 year old wears her Loop Lites for every adventure she goes on! From playing at the playground, to climbing the toughest of climbing frames, to hikes with mummy and daddy in the rainforest; She loves them!
The design enables her to put them on herself which is a huge bonus too!
The shoes have been through the wash multiple times and came out brand new every time!

The best kids trainers ever!!!
The boys love the look and feel of the trainers, they say they are really comfortable. The process of ordering and receiving them was really easy and arrived on time. We love the branding and that they are made out of sustainable materials.
