FAQs

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are designed for children, with specific sizing available for different age ranges including infants and older kids.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers feature a mesh upper which is breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or puddles.

How do I clean the leather parts?

Wipe the leather sections with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for children's shoes, following product instructions.

Can the bungee laces be replaced with traditional laces?

While not specifically designed for it, it may be possible to replace the bungee laces with standard shoelaces. However, this could affect the shoe's intended fit and appearance.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The trainers utilize a combination of leather and open knit mesh for the upper, with a rubber outsole and a cushioned midsole.

Are these suitable for athletic training?

These trainers are ideal for everyday wear and light activities. For intense athletic training or sports requiring specialized support, dedicated sports shoes are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose

Adjust the bungee laces for a tighter fit. Ensure the knot or toggle is secured properly.

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the bungee laces. If the shoe is genuinely too small, consider a larger size.

Dirt buildup on mesh

Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.

Difficulty with bungee laces

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and that the locking mechanism, if present, is functioning. Consult the product manual if available.
