Troubleshooting
Difficulty lacing shoes properly
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and tie with a firm knot. Practice lacing techniques with the child.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces for a more secure or relaxed fit. Check the UK size against the child's foot measurement. Remember to try them on before returning if the fit is not right.
Tread pattern seems ineffective
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. The non-slip tread is designed for general surfaces; performance may vary on extremely slippery or uneven terrain.
