What is the lining material?

Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on infant's foot.
Ensure the elastic laces are fully stretched to open the collar widest. Gently guide the foot in, wiggling slightly if needed. A thin sock can sometimes help reduce friction.
Suede appears dirty or stained.
For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and test on a small, hidden area first.
Infant seems uncomfortable wearing the shoes.
Check the shoe size against your infant's current foot measurement. Ensure socks are not bunched up inside the shoe. Allow time for the infant to adjust to wearing shoes.
The rubber outsole seems to be losing grip.
Wipe the rubber outsole clean with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction.
