Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting your child ready to wear the Steggy Stride shoes is straightforward:
- Loosen the Riptape Strap: Fully open the adjustable hook-and-loop (riptape) strap.
- Open the Shoe: Gently pull back the tongue to create a wide opening.
- Insert Foot: Guide your child's foot into the shoe, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably against the back.
- Secure Fit: Close the riptape strap firmly but not too tightly over the instep, ensuring a secure yet comfortable fit. The elastic laces will adapt to the foot's shape.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed for kids (children's sizes).
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all children.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday wear, active play, school, and outdoor adventures due to their durable and supportive construction.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the shoes' appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Daily Cleaning: After wear, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Odour Control: The Microban lining helps, but periodically removing insoles (if removable) and airing out the shoes can further enhance freshness.
- Protection: Consider applying a suitable leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, following the product's instructions.
