Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting bungee laces
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the toggles. If the laces are too tight or too loose, readjust the toggle position. If the bungee cord is worn, it may need replacement.
Leather appears scuffed or dirty
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For persistent scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to restore appearance and protect the material.
Child finds shoes uncomfortable
Verify the size is correct for the child's foot. Ensure the bungee laces are adjusted to provide a snug but not tight fit. Check for any internal seams or objects that might be causing irritation.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
- Laces: Inspect the bungee laces regularly for wear and tear. If they become frayed, consider replacement.
