Nike KO 99 - Black - UK 13

The Nike KO 99 offers general athletic support and cushioning suitable for casual running and general sports activities for children. For specialized, long-distance, or competitive running, specific running shoes might offer more tailored features for advanced performance and injury prevention.

For children, it's recommended to measure their feet regularly, as they grow quickly. When trying on shoes, ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the foot shouldn't slide forward excessively inside the shoe.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes, potentially shortening their lifespan. Please follow the hand cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care & Maintenance' section.

The Nike KO 99 is a versatile shoe ideal for a wide range of activities including school, playground use, light training, and various casual sports. Its design provides a good balance of comfort, durability, and traction for daily active wear.

The lifespan of children's shoes depends heavily on wear frequency, activity level, and proper care. Due to rapid foot growth, children often outgrow shoes before they wear out. For durability, expect several months to a year of good use with proper maintenance, but always prioritize a correct fit over shoe longevity.

While specific Nike KO 99 insoles may not be sold separately, many universal athletic insoles can be used to replace worn-out ones or to add extra cushioning or support. Ensure any replacement insoles fit properly within the shoe without bunching or causing discomfort.

Re-check sizing. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly, not too tight or too loose. For children, confirm that the UK 13 size still provides adequate growing room without being excessively large, as feet grow quickly.

This can sometimes be caused by air trapped in the sole or a loose insole. Try removing and reinserting the insole firmly. If it persists, ensure the shoe is completely dry after any cleaning.

Remove insoles and air them out in a well-ventilated area. Use foot powder or odor-absorbing inserts. Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after each use, especially if worn for intense activity, to prevent bacterial growth.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might be impacting grip. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for new footwear if grip is critical for safety.
