1. Check the Spending or Wallet Area
If you have moved your sneaker from Wallet to Spending area or vice versa, you need to wait for a minimum of 24 hours.
After 24 hours, check your Spending or Wallet area.
Launch the STEPN application.
To reach the Spending or Wallet area, you need to tap on the GST, GMT, and SOL balances located in the top right corner of the application.
Once you have tapped on it, you will land on the Spending area.
There you will be able to see your sneaker along with crypto assets, such as SOL, BNB, GST, and GMT.
In case you are not able to find the sneaker there, navigate to the Wallet area (located beside the Spending area) and check there.
If there are no sneakers there too, move on to the next step.

After checking the Spending Wallet area, you need to check if you can see any sneakers in the Store section.
To go to the Store/ Marketplace, you need to tap on the Cart icon.
