FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are designed for general activity and casual wear; while they support natural movement, they are not intended for competitive long-distance running.
Do I need special socks?
You can wear them barefoot, but for added comfort or warmth, you can purchase split-toe socks designed specifically for this style of footwear.
How do I clean the exterior?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine.
Are they true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing, but because of the unique fit, ensure your child's toes are comfortably placed in the front partition.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are not waterproof and are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort between the toes
Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the split-toe partition; try wearing the shoes for shorter intervals to allow the foot to adapt.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Loosen the closure system fully before attempting to slide the foot in to prevent unnecessary strain on the internal divider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the wearer has their toes properly aligned within the split-toe divider upon first wear. These trainers are compatible with standard athletic wear and can be worn barefoot or with specialized split-toe socks if extra insulation is needed. To maintain the appearance of the grey fabric, brush off loose dirt after use. If a deeper clean is required, use a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water, ensuring the trainers air-dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials.
