Troubleshooting

Hook and loop fasteners not sticking well

Clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any lint or dirt that may be preventing a secure closure.

Leather appears scuffed or dry

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and then apply a small amount of black leather shoe polish to condition and restore the finish. Buff gently.

Shoes seem uncomfortable after a short wear

Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width for the child's foot. The dual fastenings allow for adjustability, so check they are secured appropriately without being too tight.
