Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify that there is approximately a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth. For daily care, wipe away surface dust with a dry cloth. If the trainers become soiled, use a mild detergent mixed with water and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected areas. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning and adhesive materials. Always allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
