FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for competitive basketball?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday play. They do not offer the specialized support or features required for competitive basketball.

How do I clean the synthetic upper?

Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher stains, followed by a clean damp cloth.

What is the lacing system?

The shoes feature an elastic lacing system designed for easy on and off, allowing children to manage their footwear independently.

What materials are the shoes made of?

The shoes have a synthetic upper, a textile sockliner, and a full rubber outsole.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

Are these trainers waterproof?

What does the 'Regular fit' mean?

'Regular fit' indicates a standard width and volume for the shoe, suitable for most children's feet without being too narrow or too wide.

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.
