FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Vomero 18 Junior Trainers are designed with a standard fit. While the laces allow for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for children with significantly wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts carefully.
How do I clean mud or dirt from the shoes?
Gently scrub off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher marks, use a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can these shoes be worn for specialized sports like basketball?
These trainers are designed for general play, running, and everyday comfort. While they offer good traction and cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the high-impact, multi-directional movements required in specialized sports like basketball, which often need more ankle support and specific sole patterns.
What is the benefit of ReactX foam?
ReactX foam provides enhanced cushioning and energy return compared to previous foam technologies. This means more responsive feedback to the foot, making running and jumping feel more efficient and comfortable for the child.
Are there other colors available for the Vomero 18 Junior?
This guide specifically covers the Black variant (MPN: HQ2157-010). Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe when they are standing. The heel should feel secure, and the midfoot should not feel compressed. Refer to the Nike size chart for precise measurements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight, especially across the widest part of the foot. Check if the size is appropriate for the child's foot width.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, but excessive activity in very warm conditions may still lead to warmth.
Traction seems poor
Check the podular outsole for any embedded debris or wear. Clean the outsole with a brush. Ensure the shoes are being used on appropriate surfaces; they are designed for general use, not extreme conditions.
Difficulty putting shoes on
Utilize the pull tab on the heel. Ensure the laces are sufficiently loosened before attempting to slide the foot in. Have the child help by flexing their foot.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning: Clean the trainers regularly to maintain their appearance and performance. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
