Troubleshooting
Difficulty lacing up the shoes
If the laces are too long or difficult for a child to manage, consider practicing lacing techniques or using shorter laces. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly before lacing.
Shoes appear scuffed or dirty
For minor scuffs on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used. For textile areas, gentle brushing or spot cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended.
Foot discomfort or poor fit
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly and not too tight. If discomfort persists, double-check the sizing, as children's feet can grow rapidly. The trainers may need to be replaced if the size is no longer appropriate.
