FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the materials and structural overlays. We recommend hand cleaning with mild soap.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is constructed primarily from a breathable polyester open-knit mesh.

Is this model suitable for wide feet?

The 740 series features a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, you may consider sizing up slightly.

Can these be used for competitive sports?

While durable for general play, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by runners, not technical performance cleats.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

Check for a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure proper growth room.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a long day.

Feet can naturally swell throughout the day; ensure laces are not overtightened in the morning.

Visible dirt on the mesh upper.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust, followed by a damp cloth if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for simple, everyday wear. For optimal care, it is recommended to brush off loose dirt after use. If the mesh upper becomes stained, use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the affected area, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and structural overlays. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks to maintain comfort and hygiene inside the shoe.
