Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Refer to Nike's official size chart for children's trainers. Ensure feet are measured correctly, ideally at the end of the day.

Creasing on the upper

Some creasing is normal with wear, especially on leather or synthetic materials. To minimize significant creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. The traction is designed for typical athletic surfaces; performance may vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces.

Care Instructions:

Cleaning: To maintain the appearance, spot clean the trainers with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water.
Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
