What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, providing a stable base for young children.
What materials are used for the upper?

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the hidden Velcro strap on the NEW-B closure for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the stretch laces are providing even pressure.
Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe
Ensure the Velcro strap is fully open. Gently pull the tongue forward and guide the child's foot into the shoe. The stretch laces should provide some give.
Discoloration or material damage after cleaning
Ensure you are using mild cleaning agents and avoiding harsh chemicals or direct heat for drying. Always air dry at room temperature.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris that may be affecting grip.
