Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. Check if the laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are too smooth or frayed.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Re-adjust the lace tension from the bottom up to ensure an even fit. Make sure the wearer is wearing appropriate socks. If issues persist, double-check the shoe size against the child's foot measurements.
Sneakers get dirty quickly or develop stains.
Regularly spot clean the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tough stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Clean shoes promptly after they get dirty to prevent stains from setting in.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with baby powder or cornstarch, and then replacing the insole. If the sole itself is squeaking, ensure it's dry.
Foot odor develops in the shoes.
Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Remove insoles to allow them to dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Proper care will help extend the life of your PUMA FLEXFOCUS LITE Modern JR Sneakers:
- Cleaning: For the textile upper, gently spot clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as these can warp materials or cause adhesives to weaken.
