FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed with comfort and support for active daily use.
How do I determine if this size is correct for my child?
A proper fit should allow for slight movement in the toes; if the toes hit the front, it is time for a larger size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is generally recommended to hand-clean them to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
Is the pink colorway prone to fading?
The materials are durable, but avoid prolonged direct sun exposure to maintain the vibrancy of the pink accents.
What age group is the 408v1 size 4.5 for?
This size is specifically designed for infants and toddlers, typically between 9 and 18 months depending on foot growth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the day
Loosen the laces to allow for foot swelling or adjust the tongue positioning.
Difficulty putting the shoes on
Ensure the laces are fully loosened and the tongue is pulled forward before sliding the foot in.
Persistent scuff marks on the white surface
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for these trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the white upper after outdoor use to prevent deep staining.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials.
- Fit Checks: Regularly monitor your child's foot size, as infants grow rapidly; check that there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of synthetic adhesives.
