Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are laced trainers, ensure they are tied securely to provide proper arch and ankle support for your child. To maintain the trainers, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the premium components. Instead, gently clean the surface with a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution on a damp cloth, dabbing the area rather than soaking it. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
