Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was selected. Check that laces are not tied too tightly. Consult the sizing chart if unsure.
Scuff marks on the toe
This is normal wear for active children. The reinforced toe box is designed to protect the shoe from significant damage. Clean gently with a damp cloth.
Insole feels uncomfortable
