Can these be worn for competitive sports?

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for simple "slip-on and go" convenience, though ensuring the correct UK size is vital for growing children. To maintain the appearance of the black and green mesh, avoid machine washing. Instead, lightly spot-clean with a soft brush and mild soap to remove surface dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or discolouring. Check the internal sizing regularly as children's feet grow, ensuring at least half an inch of space at the toe.
