Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Loosen laces and try re-lacing for a more customized fit. If still uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger or a different model.
Tread showing signs of wear quickly
Check for excessive friction or use on abrasive surfaces. Ensure the child is using the appropriate shoe for the activity. The solid rubber outsole is designed for durability, but extreme use may accelerate wear.
Discoloration on the upper material
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If the discoloration is from the recycled materials, it is typically a natural characteristic.
