2. Setup and First Use
Upon receiving your Reebok Kids F/S Hi Velvet 2 shoes, follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging. Inspect them for any visible damage or manufacturing defects.
- Trying On: Wear appropriate socks. Loosen the laces and open the ankle straps. Slide your foot into the shoe.
- Adjusting Fit: Tighten the laces to a comfortable level, ensuring your foot feels secure but not constricted. Fasten the double ankle straps to provide additional support and a snug fit around the ankle. Ensure the straps are not overly tight to avoid discomfort.
- Walking Test: Take a few steps to ensure the shoes feel comfortable and provide adequate support. Adjust laces and straps as needed.
3. Operating (Wearing Guidelines)
These shoes are designed for casual wear and light activity. To ensure longevity and comfort:
- Always ensure laces are tied and ankle straps are fastened before wearing to prevent tripping and provide proper ankle support.
- Avoid wearing in extreme weather conditions, especially heavy rain or snow, as the shoes are not water-resistant.
- Rotate your footwear: Wearing the same pair of shoes every day can reduce their lifespan. Allow them to air out between uses.

4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoes. The shoes are made with 100% Suede fabric.
- Cleaning Suede:
- Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction.
- For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser to lightly rub the stain.
- For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely before brushing.
- Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the suede.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to clean the rubber soles. Wipe dry.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with tissue paper to help maintain their shape during storage.
5. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Issue: Shoes feel too tight or loose.
- Solution: Adjust the lacing system and ankle straps. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Refer to the sizing guide if you suspect an incorrect size.
- Issue: Suede appears matted or dirty.
- Solution: Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser as described in the Maintenance section.
