Full details
The Skechers S-Lights: Glide-Step Lights Trainers in Grey/Green are designed for active young boys seeking both comfort and a touch of fun in their footwear. The primary benefit is the illuminated midsole, adding an exciting element to every step, while a potential caveat is the reliance on the lighting feature for appeal. These trainers combine a breathable mesh knit and synthetic upper with practical features like fixed stretch laces and an adjustable instep strap for a secure fit, all built upon a supportive Glide-Step midsole with a cushioned insole for all-day wear.

FAQs
Are the lights on these trainers rechargeable?
The lighting mechanism in these Skechers S-Lights trainers typically uses non-replaceable batteries that are activated by movement. They are designed to last for the life of the shoe.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the electronic lighting components. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by Skechers. Measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. The size listed (2.5 UK) is specific to this model.
What does 'Glide-Step' mean?
Glide-Step refers to Skechers' technology designed to provide a smoother, more comfortable stride, often incorporating a supportive and cushioned midsole.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While suitable for light activity like running and playing, they are not intended for rigorous sports training.
How long do the lights typically last?
The duration of the lights depends on usage. They are designed to function during normal wear and tear, but heavy or prolonged use of the light-up feature will eventually deplete the battery.
What is the purpose of the adjustable instep strap?
The adjustable instep strap, often a hook-and-loop closure, allows for a customizable and secure fit over the top of the foot, accommodating different foot shapes and ensuring the shoe stays in place.
Troubleshooting
Lights not working
Ensure the child is walking or stepping firmly. Some lights may have an on/off switch or require a period of inactivity to 'reset'. If the issue persists, the battery may be depleted, though these are typically not user-replaceable.
Strap not holding securely
Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure. If the strap shows signs of wear and tear, it may need replacement.
Shoes appear dirty after cleaning
Use only a damp cloth for cleaning and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using colored cloths that might transfer dye. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap can be used sparingly on a damp cloth, followed by a clean damp cloth wipe-down.

Care Instructions:
