FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for everyday activities and light play, they may not provide the specialized support and durability required for intense running or competitive athletics.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can usually be removed. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
What does 'Hands-Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoe is designed with a special construction, including Skechers' Heel Pillow™, allowing you to easily slip your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design that provides lightweight, responsive cushioning and helps to guide the foot through a smooth stride.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Washing machines can damage the delicate cushioning, adhesives, and structural components of the trainers.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, offering comfort and ease of use suitable for young children.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Check the size guide for children's UK shoe sizes. Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe, and the heel fits snugly without slipping.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on initially.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is fully accessible and the foot is positioned correctly. The shoe may need a few wears to fully break in and conform to the foot.
Insole feels uncomfortable or less cushioned over time.
Check if the insole is correctly positioned. For persistent discomfort, consider cleaning the insole as per care instructions or replacing it with a suitable alternative if wear is evident.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean the affected area gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild cleaning solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Ensure all parts of the shoe are dry. If the noise persists, try placing a small piece of talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole.
