LOVE THIS SPEAKER! What i did was spray PB blaster up in the holes and wait 15 minutes. Good suction and strong hook. My 5 year old kiddo is very active. This is then after a few wears. but if it holds up well then Ill order one for my sister. I washed them and they are a little tighter now, not ideal as they are the sort of product you will need to wash occasionally. The poor image quality pushes it the rest of the way to being a wasted feature. I bend down, they fall out, I smile, they fall out. A quick touch up with a baby wipe or damp cloth is all you need, but incase, no, WHEN they happen to stomp through mud they also hold up great in the washer (just set out to dry bc the dryer will eventually damage the adhesive- on all shoes, not just these).
