FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for specific sports like basketball or soccer?

The Nova SlipSpeed trainers are designed primarily for general training, running, and everyday wear. For specialized sports requiring specific ankle support or traction patterns, dedicated sports footwear may be more appropriate.

How do I adjust the speed lace system?

The speed lace system uses bungee cords with a toggle. To tighten, pull the toggle away from the shoe. To loosen, press the toggle mechanism or pull the lace ends while holding the toggle.

Can the convertible heel be removed?

No, the UA SlipSpeed™ convertible heel is an integrated part of the shoe design and cannot be removed. It is designed to fold down for easy entry and exit.

What is the benefit of UA HOVR™ cushioning?

UA HOVR™ cushioning provides a zero-gravity feel, reducing impact forces and returning energy with every step, helping to make movement feel lighter and more efficient.

How durable is the rubberized toe cap?

The rubberized toe cap is specifically added for increased durability in an area prone to scuffing and wear, making the trainers more resilient to the rough-and-tumble play of children.

What age group are these trainers intended for?

These trainers are designed for kids, with a focus on providing comfort and ease of use for young, active individuals.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the translucent mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Extensive exposure to water may affect comfort and material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the bungee speed laces. If the issue persists, double-check the sizing chart and ensure the correct size has been selected.

Difficulty folding the convertible heel

Ensure there are no obstructions. The heel is designed to be flexible; apply gentle but firm pressure. If it feels stuck, check for debris caught in the mechanism.

Outsole seems slippery

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the surface is not excessively wet or oily.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which could damage the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy on-and-off design with the convertible heel.
  • Comfortable sock-like fit due to the bootie construction.
  • Responsive cushioning provides good energy return for active kids.
  • Durable construction with a rubberized toe cap and outsole.
  • Secure and adjustable fit with the speed lace system.

Cons

  • Translucent mesh may not be ideal for very cold weather.
  • Bungee laces might not offer the same adjustability as traditional laces for some users.
  • The convertible heel mechanism, while convenient, adds a component that could potentially wear over time.
  • Sizing may require careful attention for the best fit.
  • Primarily designed for training and active wear, not specialized sports requiring specific support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no special setup. Simply adjust the bungee speed laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. The UA SlipSpeed™ convertible heel can be folded down for easy slip-on/off access or kept up for a traditional trainer feel.

Compatibility:

Designed as unisex trainers for kids, they are compatible with various casual and athletic outfits. They perform best on a range of surfaces including asphalt, rubber tracks, and indoor gym floors.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain shape and material integrity.
