FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

These trainers are designed for general wear and are not waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water.

How long do the lights last?

The lifespan of the lights depends on usage. They are powered by internal batteries that are typically not user-replaceable and may eventually deplete.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the lights and other components.

What is the best way to clean the shoes?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely.

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are designed for kids, specifically catering to younger boys with their features and style.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the Skechers sizing chart and measure your child's foot. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.

What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step technology?

Glide-Step technology is designed to provide a smoother, more cushioned walking experience, reducing impact and enhancing comfort.

Troubleshooting

Lights not working

Ensure the child is walking or applying pressure to the sole. If the lights still do not activate, the battery may be depleted. Batteries in light-up shoes are often not user-replaceable.

Difficulty with adaptive closure

Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are clean and free of debris. Press down firmly to secure. If the grip is reduced, it may indicate wear.

Shoe smells after use

Remove insoles if possible and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are dry before wearing.

Material scuffs easily

This is common with active wear. Minor scuffs can sometimes be wiped away with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, consider a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for synthetic materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced comfort with Glide-Step cushioning.
  • Easy for children to put on and take off independently.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup beyond standard shoe wearing. Ensure the adaptive closure is adjusted correctly for a snug but comfortable fit.

Care Instructions:
