Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate the child's foot width, leaving enough room for natural movement. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or warping. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape.
