Comfort for Extended Activity: The lightweight construction combined with effective cushioning helps to reduce foot fatigue, allowing children to remain comfortable and active for longer periods.
Ensure the child's foot is clean and dry.
Open the hook and loop fastening strap completely.
Gently guide the child's foot into the shoe, using the heel pull tab for assistance if needed.
Secure the hook and loop fastening firmly across the midfoot. Ensure it is snug but not uncomfortably tight or restrictive to circulation.
Check for proper fit: there should be approximately a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Sizing: These shoes are available in various children's UK sizes. Always refer to the specific Karrimor children's sizing chart for the most accurate fit. While specified for boys, children's running shoes often have a versatile fit.
Foot Type: The flexible knitted upper and adjustable hook and loop fastening accommodate a wide range of young foot types.
Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry as this can damage the materials and structure.
Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) to prevent material degradation.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the hook and loop fastening for any trapped debris or lint, which can reduce its effectiveness. Clean it with a small brush or a piece of tape if necessary. Periodically check the outsole for excessive wear.
