What is the primary material of the shoe?
The primary material for the upper of these trainers is soft leather.

What kind of grip does the outsole offer?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting shoes on
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before attempting to slide the child's foot in. For a snugger fit, re-lace them appropriately after the foot is inside.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore moisture and minimize the appearance of scuffs. Use a clean cloth to gently rub it into the affected areas.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering grip. Check the tread pattern for excessive wear.
Child finds them uncomfortable
Verify the sizing is correct and the shoes are properly tied. Ensure no part of the shoe is pinching or rubbing. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is slightly tight.
