Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your child's foot against the Nike youth sizing chart. Laces can be adjusted for a more personalized fit.
Difficulty cleaning the textured upper
Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) with mild soap and water to gently clean the raised star pattern. Ensure not to scrub too hard.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For indoor courts, rubber sole-generated dust can reduce grip; wiping the soles periodically can help restore traction.
