Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the bungee lace system. Slide the toggle or adjust the loops for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the correct size has been purchased by checking foot length against the size chart.
Difficulty cleaning the trainers
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water for cleaning the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely.
Soles showing signs of wear
For normal wear and tear, this is expected. If excessive wear occurs quickly, check for any manufacturing defects. Ensure the child is using the correct shoe for the activity (e.g., not using trainers for rugged hiking).
