FAQs
How do the Skechers Slip-ins® work?
The Slip-ins® technology features a unique heel pillow and a flexible design that allows your child to slide their foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use their hands, making them incredibly easy to wear.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® cushioning and a lightweight design, these trainers are built for all-day comfort, whether your child is at school, playing, or running errands.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
Skechers generally recommends hand washing with mild soap and cold water, then air drying. Machine washing may damage the materials, especially the memory foam components. Always refer to specific care instructions on the product tag if available.
What type of activities are these shoes best for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday casual wear, playground activities, walking, and light running. The flexible traction outsole provides good grip for various surfaces encountered during typical children's play.
How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's foot and compare it to Skechers' sizing chart. Remember that children's feet grow quickly, so regular measurements are recommended to ensure a comfortable and healthy fit.
Are there other colors or sizes available in this model?
Yes, the Skechers Slip Ins Bounder series is typically available in a range of colors and sizes for kids. Please check product listings for current availability. This specific guide covers the Orange, Size 12 UK Child variant.
Does the Air-Cooled Memory Foam flatten over time?
While all foam cushioning can compress with prolonged use, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam is designed for durability and resilience. Proper care, including allowing shoes to air out, can help maintain its comfort and shape.
Troubleshooting
My child's foot doesn't slide in easily.
Ensure the shoe opening is fully extended. Sometimes a slight wiggle or pushing the heel down firmly helps. Confirm your child is wearing socks of appropriate thickness for the shoe's size.
The shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Double-check the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements. Foot sizes can change rapidly. Also, consider the thickness of socks your child typically wears with the shoes.
The shoes are starting to smell after active use.
Remove the insoles if possible and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out thoroughly after each wear. A light sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can also help absorb odors.
The traction seems to be less effective.
Inspect the outsole for dirt, mud, or debris. Clean the tread pattern thoroughly with a brush and water to restore optimal grip.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of the Skechers Slip Ins Bounder trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials, especially the memory foam.
- Memory Foam: For the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, you can often remove it and allow it to air out if needed. Avoid saturating it with water during cleaning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
