When NOT to Use It
Not suitable for soccer, basketball, or sports with intense lateral movements (requires specific shoes), technical trails or very rough terrain, or use in heavy rain (not waterproof). For specific sports, choose dedicated models.
Size Guide and Foot Growth
We recommend 0.5-1cm of space in front of the toes for foot growth. Measure the child's foot while standing in the afternoon (when it is most swollen). Children aged 6-10 grow approximately 1 size every 6-8 months, while teenagers aged 11-14 grow approximately 1 size every 8-12 months. Check the fit every 2-3 months.
Maintenance and Durability
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, natural drying. Avoid washing machine and dryer. Estimated lifespan: 300-400km or 6-8 months of intensive school use. Replace when the sole loses grip or cushioning compresses excessively.
