FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the materials.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

They feature a standard fit, but it is always recommended to refer to the UK sizing guide to ensure enough room for growth.

Are they suitable for wider feet?

The standard fit is accommodating, but the lacing system allows for some adjustment if extra width is needed.

Can these be used for competitive basketball?

They are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers; they are great for casual play but lack the specialized tech for professional-grade basketball performance.

Is the material waterproof?

The synthetic upper is water-resistant against light splashes but is not designed for submersion or heavy rain.

What is the primary material?

The upper is made of durable synthetic materials, while the sole is made of robust rubber.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Double-knot the laces or swap them for higher-friction laces if necessary.

Accumulated dirt in the outsole tread

Use a soft-bristle brush to dislodge debris from the rubber grooves to restore traction.

Creasing on the synthetic upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the right fit is essential for these trainers. Ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate the child's foot shape—snug across the midfoot but with enough room in the toe box for growth. For care, wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives used in the cupsole. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the collar and prevent material cracking.
