FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, they are designed for active play and general athletic use.
How do I secure the bungee laces?
The bungee laces are pre-configured for a snug slip-on fit, requiring no traditional tying.
Are the insoles removable?
The shoes feature standard trainer construction; refer to the product interior to see if the insole is glued or removable.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and bungee components.
Are these trainers true to size?

Troubleshooting
Bungee laces feel too tight or loose
Check if the elastic toggle is correctly positioned; if the tension is consistently poor, inspect the lace routing for twists.
Surface stains are difficult to remove
Use a soft brush and mild soap solution on the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water to preserve the material.
- Air Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer.
- Fit Check: Periodically check the fit as children grow rapidly. The bungee system should feel secure but not restrictive across the midfoot.
