Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on a high instep
Ensure the fastening mechanism is opened as wide as possible before inserting the foot, or consider checking if the child requires a different width fitting.
Outer sole shows premature wear
This is often a result of dragging feet; encourage the child to walk with a full heel-to-toe gait to preserve the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify the child's current foot measurement against standard UK sizing, keeping in mind that children often require extra room for growth. For maintenance, keep the trainers clean by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes fully in water, as this can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the foam cushioning. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials.
