FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the structural integrity of the synthetic upper and the outsole glue.
Can these be used for basketball?
These are lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball silhouettes. They are great for casual play but not intended for professional or high-intensity court use.
How do I ensure the right fit for my child?
Measure the child's foot while they are standing. Aim for about a half-inch of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Does the mid-cut design restrict movement?
No, the collar is designed to be flexible enough for normal walking and running while providing added support compared to a low-top sneaker.
Are the laces removable?
Yes, the laces can be fully removed for cleaning or replacement with custom-colored laces.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are double-knotting the laces or teaching the child a 'secure knot' technique to prevent loops from snagging.
Visible scuffs on the synthetic surface
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a soft sponge with mild soap to gently buff out scuff marks.
Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt
Check the insole. If it is removable, taking it out may provide a few extra millimeters of room temporarily, but it is time to upgrade to the next size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Hoops Mid Classics starts with a proper fit. Ensure the laces are tightened comfortably so the shoe doesn't slide against the heel. For care, avoid putting these trainers in the washing machine, as the heat can degrade the synthetic materials and adhesive. Instead, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and mud. If the laces become frayed or dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately or replaced to refresh the look of the shoe.
