FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the synthetic leather and adhesive components. Surface cleaning is the safest method.
Does the wide toe box mean I should size down?
No, it is recommended to purchase the standard size appropriate for your child's foot measurements to ensure proper growth room.
Can these be worn for running sports?
While they are comfortable for casual running and general play, they are designed as lifestyle trainers and not as technical performance running shoes.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between the end of the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is the material waterproof?
The synthetic leather is water-resistant against light splashes or rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Velcro straps no longer stick securely
Clean the hook-and-loop fabric with a small brush to remove lint, debris, or hair that may prevent proper adhesion.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the synthetic finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure the Velcro straps are adjusted snugly but not too tightly across the bridge of the foot. When cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap to wipe the leather surface. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper towels to maintain their shape.
