Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the elastic straps.
Can these be used for competitive sports?
While durable for play, these are primarily casual trainers and lack the advanced lockdown needed for competitive athletics.
Do I need to tie any laces?
No, these are purely slip-on trainers with elasticated straps.
How do I ensure a good fit?
Ensure the heel strap sits firmly behind the heel and the mid-foot strap feels snug without causing discomfort.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The slip-on design is relatively snug; those with wider feet may need to ensure the elastic can stretch sufficiently or consider trying a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to pull on
Ensure the heel strap is fully extended before inserting the foot, or try a thinner sock to reduce friction.
Elastic straps feel too tight
Check if the size is appropriate; if the shoe was recently purchased, the elastic may need a short 'break-in' period to soften.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge gravel or dirt from the flex grooves after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on shoes, there is no setup required beyond ensuring the child's foot is properly centered during the first wear. To maintain the life of the trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the elastic straps. When choosing a size, note that the snug fit of the elastic requires precise measurement to ensure the heel is properly seated against the back strap for optimal support.
