FAQs
Are the laces functional for tightening?
No, the laces are decorative stretch laces and are designed to be part of the slip-on feature. They do not offer adjustable tightness.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The design includes a structured heel that holds its shape, allowing the wearer to step into the shoe without needing to touch it or bend over. The Heel Pillow® aids in keeping the back of the shoe open for easy entry.
Can these trainers be used for sports?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. While they provide good support for light activities like walking and playground play, they are not recommended for high-impact sports or intense athletic training.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This is a cushioned insole that provides comfort and breathability. The 'Air-Cooled' feature suggests it's designed to allow air circulation to help keep feet cooler.
How do I ensure I'm selecting the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to Skechers' sizing chart. As these are slip-on, a snug but comfortable fit is ideal, as there is no adjustability.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a unique design feature that creates a comfortable, padded collar around the heel, enhancing comfort and helping to secure the foot within the shoe during the slip-in process.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on initially.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being pushed down. Gently flex the shoe to open the entry and slide the foot in. The fit will loosen slightly with wear.
Shoes feel too loose after wearing.
The stretch laces do not offer adjustable tightness. For a snugger fit, consider thicker socks. If the looseness is significant, these may not be the best fit for very narrow feet.
Machine washing causes discoloration or damage.
Always use cold water on a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried afterward. Avoid high heat or harsh chemicals.
