FAQs
What does 'Gore & Strap' mean?
'Gore' refers to the elasticized fabric panel, typically on the sides of the shoe opening, which provides flexibility and makes the shoe easier to slip on. The 'Strap' is a hook-and-loop fastener (like Velcro) that goes across the top of the foot, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
Are these sneakers suitable for all sports?
The Skechers Bounder sneakers are designed for general active wear, light running, and everyday play. While comfortable and supportive for most children's activities, they may not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or traction required for high-performance sports like basketball or soccer.
How do I ensure I choose the correct UK Child size?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to a Skechers UK child sizing chart. Additionally, have your child try on the shoes and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the strap fastens comfortably.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash Skechers Bounder sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Instead, use spot cleaning methods with mild soap and water, and always air dry.
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These sneakers are specifically designed for the 'kids' age group, as indicated by the '13 UK Child' sizing. The Gore & Strap closure and durable construction are well-suited for active children.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.
First, ensure you have the correct UK Child size. If the size is right, adjust the hook-and-loop strap carefully. If still loose, try adding a thin insole. If too tight, check for any thick socks that might be contributing, or consider if a larger size is needed.
The sneakers get dirty quickly, especially during play.
This is normal for active children's footwear. Spot clean regularly using a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water. For tougher dirt, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can help. Allow them to air dry completely.
The hook-and-loop strap isn't holding as securely as it used to.
Over time, lint and debris can accumulate in the hook-and-loop fasteners, reducing their grip. Use a stiff brush or a fine-toothed comb to carefully remove any build-up from both sides of the strap. This often restores its effectiveness.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Skechers Bounder sneakers.
- Spot Cleaning: For most dirt and scuffs, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and cool water. Gently rub the affected areas.
- Air Dry: After cleaning, allow the sneakers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry these sneakers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the strap for wear and tear, and the soles for any embedded debris.
