FAQs

What is the UA SlipSpeed™ convertible heel feature?

The UA SlipSpeed™ convertible heel allows you to push the heel section down, transforming the shoe into an easy slip-on for recovery or relaxed wear. Pushing the heel back up provides a more secure fit for training.

How do I adjust the speed lace system?

Pull the laces to tighten the shoe for a secure fit. Once comfortable, press the toggle to lock the laces in place. To loosen, press the release tab on the toggle.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The trainers are designed for athletic performance and everyday wear and are not waterproof. The mesh upper offers breathability but will allow water ingress.

Can these shoes be used for formal sports like basketball or soccer?

While versatile for general training and play, these trainers are optimized for comfort and ease of use. For sports requiring specific support and grip, specialized footwear is recommended.

How do I clean the translucent mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the material.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, indicated by the 'kids' age group attribute and 'size_children_foot_uk' sizing.

What does the 'bootie design' mean?

The bootie design refers to an internal construction that wraps around the foot like a sock, providing a snug, comfortable, and supportive fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to put on.

Ensure the speed lace system is fully loosened. Push down the heel to its 'recovery' position before sliding the foot in.

Laces do not stay secure.

Check that the toggle on the speed lace system is fully engaged. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new bungee laces.

Uneven wear on the toe area.

The rubberized toe cap is designed for durability. If excessive wear occurs, ensure the child is not dragging their feet excessively during activity. Clean the toe cap regularly.

Cushioning feels stiff initially.

The UA HOVR™ cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few short sessions to allow them to conform to the foot.

Pros and Cons

  • Quick and easy for kids to put on and take off.
  • Comfortable, sock-like fit enhances overall wearability.
  • Energy-returning cushioning supports active play.
  • Convertible heel adds functional versatility.
  • Durable construction with rubberized toe cap.

Cons

  • Translucent mesh may be susceptible to faster wear if not handled with care.

  • Primarily designed for training and casual wear; may not be suitable for highly technical sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no complex setup. Simply ensure the correct size is selected. The speed lace system can be adjusted for a snug fit by pulling the laces and securing the toggle, or loosened for easier removal. The convertible heel can be pushed down to transition to recovery mode.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents.

  • Material Care: Be mindful of the translucent mesh upper; avoid excessive abrasion or exposure to sharp objects that could cause tears.
