FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The fixed stretch laces offer a secure fit but are not adjustable. They may be snug for very wide feet. The slip-in design, however, allows for some flexibility.
Can I replace the laces?
No, the laces are fixed and decorative; they are not functional for tying. The shoe is designed to be a slip-on with the Hands Free Slip-ins technology.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
Refer to the Skechers size chart for children's footwear, typically found on the retailer's website or Skechers official site. Ensure the UK size 12 corresponds to the child's foot measurement.
What is the main benefit of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®?
The primary benefit is the ability to put on and take off the shoes without using your hands, making them incredibly convenient for children and individuals who may have difficulty with traditional shoelaces.
Can these be worn for sports like basketball?
These are designed as casual trainers for everyday comfort and light activity. For high-impact sports, specialized athletic footwear with better ankle support and traction is recommended.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® provides additional padding and a secure fit around the heel, enhancing comfort and helping to prevent the shoe from slipping off during wear.
How often should I wash these shoes?
It is recommended to wash the shoes as needed, typically when they become visibly dirty or develop an odor. Avoid excessive washing to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on.
Ensure the heel is fully back and the foot is slid in at a slight angle. Encourage the child to push their foot fully into the shoe.
Insole feels uncomfortable.
Allow a few wears for the Memory Foam to mold to the foot. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the fixed laces are causing pressure.
Material appears worn after washing.
Ensure only cold water and a gentle cycle were used. Always air dry and avoid high heat or harsh detergents.
Shoes smell after wear.
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside overnight to absorb odors, then shaken out before use.
