What materials are the shoes made of?

What does the 'Regular fit' mean?

Troubleshooting
Shoes appear too tight or loose
Adjust the elastic laces to achieve a more secure or comfortable fit. Ensure the child's foot is positioned correctly within the shoe before lacing.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris, which can reduce traction. For new shoes, a brief 'breaking-in' period may improve grip.
Difficulty pulling shoe on
Ensure the tongue is fully forward and the elastic laces are loosened as much as possible. Encourage the child to slide their foot in smoothly rather than forcing it.
