Troubleshooting
Shoes appear to be discolored after washing
Ensure only cold water was used and no bleach was applied. Air dry completely away from direct sunlight. If dyed, color may naturally fade with washing.
Straps are difficult for the child to fasten
Ensure the strap end is properly aligned with the buckle or velcro. Practice with the child to build dexterity.
Sole shows signs of wear quickly
While durable, excessive scuffing on abrasive surfaces can wear down any sole. Ensure the child is wearing the appropriate footwear for the activity (e.g., not using these for rough sports).
