Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure the correct UK size is selected for your child's growing feet.

Care Instructions:

  1. Regularly brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the mesh.
  3. Avoid putting the shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity.
  4. Air dry in a cool, shaded area; do not place them directly on heaters or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp.
