Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Bounder Pro trainers are designed for young girls seeking effortless comfort and style for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the 'Hands Free Slip-ins' technology, allowing easy on-and-off, complemented by a supportive Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole. A potential caveat for very active or rough play is the mesh and synthetic upper, which may require careful cleaning to maintain appearance. These trainers feature a lightweight design, adaptive closure, and are machine washable.

FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands to adjust them. The Heel Pillow® design helps to hold the shoe open for a simple slip-on action.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Skechers Bounder Pro trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activities. While they offer good support for walking and playing, they are not specifically designed for high-impact or professional sports.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, and the heel should not lift excessively when walking.
Can the fixed stretch laces be adjusted?
No, the stretch laces are fixed and non-adjustable. They are part of the design to facilitate the slip-on feature and maintain a secure fit.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended only when necessary due to dirt or odor. Frequent washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning and materials. Spot cleaning is often sufficient for minor maintenance.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a key component of the Hands Free Slip-ins® design. It's a structured heel cushion that provides comfort and helps maintain the shoe's shape, making it easy to slip your foot in.
Can these trainers be worn with orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, which may allow space for custom orthotics. However, it's best to check if the insole can be easily removed for your specific pair.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on initially.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully retracted. Wiggle the foot gently as you slide it in. The shoe may loosen slightly with continued wear.
Insole feels flat after some use.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to contour to the foot over time. If significant flattening occurs, ensure the shoes are not being used for excessively strenuous activities that exceed their intended purpose. Check for proper fit, as an incorrect size can sometimes lead to premature wear.
Material appears stained after washing.
Ensure the shoes are washed on a cold, gentle cycle. If stains persist after washing and air drying, try spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid using the dryer, as heat can set stains.
Shoes feel too narrow or wide.
These trainers have a standard fit. If the shoe feels too narrow, ensure the foot is centered correctly. If it feels too wide, the fixed laces may not provide sufficient tightening. Consider if a different Skechers model might offer a more suitable fit.
