Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension. For consistent discomfort, double-check the sizing against the child's foot measurements to ensure the correct size was purchased.
Shoes appear dirty quickly
Given the black color, minor scuffs and dust can be noticeable. Wipe down the shoes regularly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized sneaker cleaner for leather and synthetic materials.
Child complains of discomfort after extended wear
While featuring a moulded sockliner and padded collar for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure socks are appropriate, and check if the laces are tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, consider adding a thin, supportive insole if space allows, or consult with a footwear specialist.
Slipping on certain indoor surfaces
The grippy rubber outsole is designed for traction on various surfaces. However, extremely polished or wet indoor surfaces can still be slippery. Advise caution on such surfaces.
