Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming untied
Consider using a double knot or replacing with elastic speed laces if your child finds traditional tying difficult.
Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt
Check the insole; if the toes are touching the end of the shoe, it is time to move up to the next size.
Excessive dirt buildup on mesh
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam or mild dish soap diluted in water, then pat dry with a clean towel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear. To ensure the best fit, verify the size against your child's current measurements, keeping in mind that socks can affect the feel. For care, keep the mesh clean by gently brushing off dry mud with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers get wet, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the glue from degrading and the materials from warping. For general maintenance, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used to spot-clean the synthetic sections.
