FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. While they offer good comfort and support for running and playing, they may not provide the specialized features or stability required for intense athletic training.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers and measure your child's foot. The UK size 5.5 is indicated. Ensure there is a little room for growth but not so much that the shoe feels loose.
Can the stretch laces be tied tighter?
The stretch laces are pre-tied and designed for a slip-on fit. They are not intended to be adjusted for a tighter or looser fit.
What is the main advantage of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® provides extra padding and a secure, comfortable fit around the heel, preventing slipping and adding to the overall comfort of the shoe.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash them as needed when they become dirty. Frequent washing is generally safe due to their machine washable design, but always opt for a gentle cycle and air drying to maintain their condition.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, the soft interior lining and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole are designed for comfortable wear with or without socks.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
'Hands Free Slip-ins®' means the shoe is engineered with a unique construction that allows you to slip your foot in without needing to use your hands to hold the heel or shoe open.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel is fully pushed down into the shoe. Loosen the stretch laces slightly if possible, or try wearing thinner socks.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. It may resolve with continued wear. Check if any part of the sole or upper is rubbing unusually.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to mold to the foot over time. If discomfort persists, ensure the size is correct. You can also try removing the insole and re-inserting it.
Shoes don't fit after washing
Ensure the shoes were air-dried and not machine dried. Machine drying can cause shrinkage. Always follow the air-drying instructions.
