Troubleshooting
Difficulty fastening the shoe
Ensure the Velcro straps are clean and free of lint. If the Velcro has lost its grip, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Uneven wear on the sole
This can indicate an issue with gait. Consult with a pediatrician or a children's shoe specialist if concerned. Ensure the child is wearing the correct size.
Discoloration after cleaning
Use only mild, damp cloths for cleaning and avoid excessive water or harsh chemicals. Ensure shoes are dried naturally, away from direct heat.
