Troubleshooting

Laces feel difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets and wings smoothly. If friction is an issue, consider using waxed laces or ensuring the existing laces are clean and free of debris.

Nubuck material appears scuffed or dirty

Gently brush the affected area with a suede or nubuck brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following product instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Sizing feels slightly off

Verify the correct UK size for children's footwear. Consider the thickness of socks usually worn. If the fit is still problematic, consult the retailer's return and exchange policy.
