FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is generally recommended to hand-clean the shoes to protect the adhesive and materials; avoid machine washing.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The lace-up design offers good adjustability, which can accommodate various foot shapes, though they fit true to standard sizing.

Do these provide arch support?

They feature a cushioned footbed for general comfort, but they are not categorized as orthopedic shoes.

What age group are these intended for?

These are part of the kids' line, typically suited for school-aged children.

Can these be used for competitive basketball?

While they are inspired by basketball, they are intended as lifestyle trainers for casual play rather than specialized athletic performance gear.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or replace them with slightly textured laces that provide more friction.

Outsole losing traction

Check the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the rubber; clean the bottom with a stiff brush.

Odour buildup

Remove the inserts periodically to air out the shoes and consider using a child-safe antimicrobial spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing the shoes near heaters or direct sunlight, which can warp the materials.
  3. Fit: The lace-up closure allows you to adjust the tension based on the child's foot shape; ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the textile lining.
