FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to preserve the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the foam.
What age group are these for?
The PS (Pre-School) designation indicates they are designed for younger children who are active but do not yet require adult-level performance shoes.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the internal construction is designed to provide stable support suitable for the natural development of a child's foot.
Can the insoles be removed?
While the insoles are designed to be stable, they are not intended to be replaced with custom orthotics unless otherwise specified by a professional.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed to be suitable for indoor gymnasium surfaces without leaving streaks.
Troubleshooting
Velcro strap keeps coming undone
Check the loop for trapped debris like lint or grass. Clean the Velcro hooks with a small brush to restore stickiness.
Shoe feels too tight over the bridge of the foot
Ensure the child is not wearing excessively thick socks and try loosening the Velcro strap to distribute pressure more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure your child wears the type of socks they would typically use with the trainers when trying them on. The Velcro strap should be tightened until it is snug but not restrictive across the midfoot.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor use.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally; avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials.
- If the shoes become very muddy, gently hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry.
