FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball design, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and everyday activities. They do not offer the specialized support or grip required for competitive basketball.
How do I clean the white rubber sole?
Use a damp cloth with a little mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used gently. Always wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the purpose of the elastic laces?
The elastic laces are designed for convenience, allowing children to put on and take off their shoes easily and quickly without needing to tie traditional laces.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made of synthetic material, which offers durability and is easy to wipe clean.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is a little room (about a thumb's width) between the child's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are designed for everyday wear and light protection against splashes, but not for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Ensure the elastic laces are loosened as much as possible before insertion. Check if the correct size has been selected.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the shoe is fully broken in.
Discoloration on the synthetic upper
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for cleaning. Test any cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first.
Inner lining feels uncomfortable
Ensure the sockliner is properly seated. If removable, check for any wrinkles or damage. If the discomfort persists, consider using thin socks.
