Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Achieving the Perfect Fit
- Measure Foot Size: Before first wear, ensure the shoe size is correct. Have your child stand, and measure both feet. Always size to the larger foot if there's a difference. There should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Wear Appropriate Socks: Have your child try on the shoes with the type of socks they will typically wear.
- Secure Fasteners: If equipped with laces, tie them snugly but not too tightly. For hook-and-loop fasteners, ensure they are securely fastened across the top of the foot. The foot should feel secure without excessive pressure or slipping.
- Walk Around: Have your child walk, run, and jump a little to confirm comfort and fit. Watch for any rubbing or pinching.

Care: Keeping Your KO 99s in Top Condition
Proper care extends the life of your child's shoes and keeps them looking fresh.
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage materials and adhesives. Do not put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer.
- Air Dry: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Remove Insoles: If insoles are removable, take them out to air dry separately to prevent odors.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check for excessive wear on the outsole, especially if your child is very active, to ensure continued traction and safety.
