FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the Shox TL design provides excellent cushioning for impact, making them suitable for running and general athletic play.
Can these be worn in the gym?
Absolutely. The non-marking solid rubber Waffle outsole provides great traction for indoor gym activities.
Are they easy to keep clean?
The mesh upper and TPU materials are relatively low maintenance; spot cleaning with mild soap and water is usually sufficient.
What is the purpose of the TPU cage?
The TPU cage provides structural support and keeps the foot locked in place during active movement.
Are these shoes heavy?
Due to the mechanical Shox technology and TPU overlays, they are more substantial than basic canvas or lightweight mesh trainers.
Troubleshooting
Debris stuck inside Shox columns
Use a soft brush or compressed air to carefully dislodge rocks or dirt trapped between the Shox pillars.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used, or consider replacing them with elastic performance laces if the child struggles with tying.
Surface scuffing on outsole
Use a damp cloth and a mild eraser to gently remove surface-level scuffs from the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers use a traditional secure lace fastening system, allowing for a customizable fit. To ensure longevity, keep them away from harsh chemicals and clean them regularly to prevent debris buildup in the Shox columns. Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and cold water for spot cleaning the mesh upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the TPU materials.
