FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, because they are constructed from leather, machine washing can cause damage to the material. Please clean by hand.
Is the insole removable?
The insole is designed to be integrated into the shoe's structure for optimal support.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Leather provides some natural water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protectant spray if worn in heavy rain.
Does the size fit true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for children's footwear.
Can I use these for running sports?
While they are comfortable for casual activity, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers rather than dedicated high-performance running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with slightly longer or high-friction laces.
Scuffs appearing on leather surface
Apply a matching shoe cream or neutral leather polish to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Loosen the lacing pattern at the eyelets to relieve pressure across the instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skechers trainers remain in optimal condition:
- Fit: Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the lace-up design relies on a snug fit to provide ankle and arch stability.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft brush to remove loose dirt. Since the upper is leather, use a mild leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to wipe surfaces. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Maintenance: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area to prevent mold or moisture accumulation in the cushioning.
