Troubleshooting
Child complains of discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check if the laces are tied too tightly or too loosely. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks depending on the season and the shoe fit.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The Traxion outsole provides excellent grip, but performance on extremely slick, wet surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impede traction. For very wet conditions, exercise caution.
Shoes appear to be wearing out quickly
Inspect the shoes for excessive wear on the outsole or upper. While durable, very rigorous use or improper care can accelerate wear. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (hiking and outdoor activities).
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt
For tough mud or stains, use a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild soap. For persistent marks, a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for synthetic and textile materials can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing with a damp cloth.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and appearance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
