What is the closure system?

What are the main materials used?
The upper is made from a combination of suede and textile, and the sole is synthetic.

What does 'Hylane' signify in the product name?

Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Ensure the hook-and-loop closure is fully open. Gently stretch the elastic laces to create more room before sliding the foot in. Check if the size is appropriate for the child's foot.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Always follow product instructions.
Sole feels slippery.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. The reverse waffle outsole is designed for flexibility and grip, but excessive dirt or wear may reduce traction. Check for any damage to the sole.
Elastic laces are stretched out.
While the elastic laces offer convenience, they can stretch over time. If significantly stretched, they may require replacement or adjustment. Consider professional shoe repair if needed.
