Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting shoes on

Uneven wear on the sole
This can occur with varied walking styles. Ensure the child's gait is natural. Check for any debris trapped in the sole patterns.
Scuff marks on the black upper
Use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution to gently wipe away scuff marks. A magic eraser can also be effective on synthetic materials, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
