What is the benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 4 for your child. Adjust lacing for a snug, yet comfortable fit. Consider sock thickness, as thicker socks can make shoes feel tighter.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Check socks for proper fit and material. Ensure laces aren't too tight or loose. Allow a break-in period, though discomfort should be minimal with proper sizing. If persistent, re-verify size.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This often occurs if insoles are slightly loose or if moisture gets trapped. Remove insoles, clean the inside of the shoe, dry thoroughly, and reinsert. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
Unpleasant odor.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles to dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Wash insoles periodically with mild soap and water, ensuring they are fully dry before reinserting.
