Troubleshooting

Difficulty adjusting bungee laces

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before attempting to tighten. If the mechanism feels stiff, gently wiggle it while pulling. Refer to online tutorials for specific bungee lace adjustment techniques if needed.

Uneven wear on the sole

This could be due to the child's gait. Ensure the shoes fit correctly and are not too tight or too loose. Rotate the use of these trainers with other shoes if possible.

Discoloration on leather parts

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to restore the appearance. Protect from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
