FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
Yes, the FLEXFOCUS LITE is designed as a trainer with a lightweight midsole suitable for running and general athletic activities.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they feature a textile upper which provides breathability but is not designed to be waterproof.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK size guide, ensuring roughly 0.5 to 1cm of space in the toe box for comfort.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles in this model are generally fixed; removing them may affect the comfort and support provided.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is made of EVA foam for cushioning, supplemented with zoned rubber for added durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension by loosening the laces starting from the bottom eyelets upward.
Surface dirt accumulation on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure a secure double knot is used, or consider replacing with elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional ties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is crucial for athletic footwear. Ensure there is a small amount of room in the toe box for natural movement. To keep the shoes in peak condition, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the textile upper with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole cushioning over time. If the laces become frayed, replace them with standard athletic laces of the appropriate length.
