FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are designed for natural motion and are excellent for recreational running and general physical play.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring the child's foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and ensuring there is a small amount of wiggle room at the toe.
Are these machine washable?
No, we recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth to protect the materials and the adhesive bonds.
What is the benefit of the APMA seal?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance indicates that the product has been reviewed and found to promote good foot health.
Can the insoles be removed?
The internal bootie construction is designed to be integrated, so it is best to leave the insole in place to maintain the intended support structure.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding the foot into the shoe
Ensure the pull tabs are fully utilized and the heel section is not folded inward while stepping into the shoe.
Shoe feels loose during activity
Check that the interior of the shoe is free of debris and ensure the child is wearing socks of appropriate thickness for the fit.
Outsole collecting dirt in flex grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove gravel or debris from the grooves to maintain optimal flexibility.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Promotes healthy, natural foot development
- Extremely lightweight for all-day comfort
- Easy to put on and take off via dual pull tabs
- Approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association
- Flexible design allows for natural gait patterns
Cons
- Slip-on style may not suit all foot shapes equally

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers utilize a simple slip-on entry system. To put them on, pull the heel and tongue loops simultaneously to widen the collar, then slide the foot in. Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully up to ensure a snug fit at the back of the foot.
For care, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting these trainers in a washing machine, as high-heat agitation can weaken the structural integrity of the flex grooves and internal mesh. If the trainers become soaked, stuff them with paper towels to absorb internal moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
