These Tsukihoshi Racer shoes are a great choice for kids. They're machine - washable. Just use cold water, take out the insole, and let them air - dry (no dryer, please). They're super lightweight, offering excellent comfort and functionality for active kids. The antibacterial insole, infused with natural green tea extract (no chemicals), helps get rid of odor - causing germs. Pedorthists love them because of the removable insole, long counters, and child - specific patterns, which are perfect for customized orthotics. The wide toe boxes provide barefoot - like comfort, allowing the toes to splay naturally for a balanced landing. The long heel counter acts as a heel stabilizer for optimum stability. They're easy to put on and take off with a single - strap 'hook and loop' closure and elastic faux - laces. The synthetic/textile upper looks great. The breathable textile lining and cushioned foot - bed keep feet comfy during activities. The EVA/TPR outsole is ultra - lightweight, flexible, abrasion - resistant, shock - absorbing, and slip - resistant for safety. And it's non - marking. Note that sizes 5 and 6 are baby sizes with softer soles.
Using these Tsukihoshi Racer shoes is a breeze. Just put them on like any other shoes, thanks to the easy - on single - strap 'hook and loop' closure and elastic faux - laces. When it comes to maintenance, you can machine - wash them in cold water. But remember to remove the insole first and let the shoes air - dry. Never use a dryer as it may damage the shoes. For odor control, the natural green tea extract in the insole takes care of germs, but you can keep the insole clean by taking it out regularly. These shoes are great for active kids, providing comfort and stability. However, if you're using customized orthotics, the removable insole and long counters make it easy for a Pedorthist to make modifications. Also, if you're getting sizes 5 and 6, know that they're for babies and have softer soles, so handle them gently.
