Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for maximum security.
Visible surface stains on mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of water and gentle detergent to lightly scrub the affected area.
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces starting from the toe box working your way up to the ankle to redistribute pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for children's footwear. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but comfortably—not so tight that they cut off circulation, but snug enough to prevent heel slippage. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the mesh and foam structure. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material degradation. Regularly check the outsoles for debris to maintain traction.
