Full details

Their key benefit is a blend of lightweight cushioning and a secure, easy-to-use closure system, making them ideal for daily wear. A potential caveat is that while machine washable, specific care instructions should still be followed to maintain material integrity.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable instep strap allows for some customization of fit, which may accommodate slightly wider feet. However, for significantly wide feet, it's best to try them on if possible.
Can the stretch laces be replaced if they wear out?
The stretch laces are integrated into the design for ease of use and are not typically designed for replacement. If they become significantly worn, it may indicate the need for a new pair of shoes.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on the frequency and intensity of use. For regular daily wear, the cushioning should provide comfort for a considerable period. Proper care can help maintain its integrity.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are made from mesh and synthetic materials and are not designed to be waterproof. They are breathable and suitable for dry conditions or light moisture.
What is the purpose of the geometric Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smoother heel-to-toe transition with each step, enhancing comfort and promoting a natural walking or running motion.
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids and are ideal for active youngsters who need comfortable, easy-to-wear footwear for everyday activities.
Can adults wear these trainers?
These trainers are sized and designed with children's feet and needs in mind. While some smaller adult sizes might exist within the children's range, they are primarily intended for the kids' market.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the hook-and-loop instep strap for a more personalized fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Difficulty getting the shoe on.
Ensure the instep strap is fully open. The fixed stretch laces are designed to be snug but should allow the foot to slide in when the strap is loosened.
Reduced cushioning or comfort after time.
While durable, the cushioning may naturally decrease with heavy use. Consider cleaning as per instructions, as debris can sometimes affect feel. For prolonged issues, it may be time for a new pair.
Discoloration after washing.
Ensure only cold water and mild detergent were used, and that the shoes were air-dried away from direct sunlight. Avoid using bleach.
