Do these shoes run true to size?

Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoes on
Loosen the laces or straps fully before inserting the foot, and use a shoehorn or your finger to prevent crushing the heel counter.

Use a toothpick or a small, soft brush to gently clear out dirt or small pebbles trapped in the sculpted waves of the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your infant's 9060 trainers last, keep them away from harsh machine washing, which can damage the delicate upper textures. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the soles, and wipe the upper material with a slightly dampened cloth. For optimal comfort, ensure the laces or closures are adjusted to fit snugly without being restrictive, allowing for natural foot development. When storing, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding heat sources like radiators that may warp the foam midsole.
