Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing. If discomfort persists, consider the fit might not be suitable for your child's foot shape.
Suede material looks matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.
Try a different lacing knot, such as a double knot, or replace the laces with a pair that offers better grip.
