Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Consider double-knotting the laces or replacing them with elastic 'no-tie' laces for younger children who struggle with traditional knots.
Surface stains on the suede sections

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed to be worn straight out of the box with minimal break-in time. To ensure the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug but non-restrictive hold across the midfoot. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and midsole. For the upper, use a specialized sneaker cleaner safe for suede and synthetic materials; avoid machine washing or heavy soaking to maintain the structural integrity of the shoes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
