Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted to the child's preference, allowing enough room for movement without the heel slipping out. When caring for these trainers, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic components. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading.
