Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose or insecure during activity.
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is pulled firmly and secured tightly across the top of the foot. The elastic laces provide flex, but the strap is key for a locked-in feel. Re-adjust if necessary.
Feet feel warm or sweaty after prolonged wear.
While the shoes have a breathable mesh upper, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). If the issue persists, check if the shoe size is still appropriate for proper ventilation.
Shoes get dirty quickly from active play.
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent dirt from setting. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution as described in the care instructions. Regular cleaning helps maintain appearance.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of the PUMA Flexfocus shoes:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub the affected areas.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent material damage or warping. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the hook-and-loop strap for debris that might reduce its grip. Clean as needed. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water.
