FAQs
How do the lights activate?
The lights are activated by the natural impact and movement of the child's steps. Each step should trigger the lights.
Are the lights replaceable or rechargeable?
The lights in these Skechers are powered by internal batteries that are not user-replaceable or rechargeable. They are designed to last for the functional life of the shoe.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, these sneakers should not be put in a washing machine. The electronic components for the lights can be damaged by submersion and machine washing. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is an engineered cushioning system with a geometric design that aims to provide a smooth, comfortable, and gliding sensation with every step.
How do I adjust the fit of the sneaker?
The sneaker features an adjustable hook-and-loop instep strap. Simply lift and reposition the strap to tighten or loosen the fit around the top of the foot.
What is the main benefit of the adaptive closure system?
The adaptive closure system, combining fixed stretch laces and an adjustable strap, offers a secure fit that is also easy for children to manage, promoting independence while ensuring the shoe stays on comfortably.
What age group are these sneakers best suited for?
These sneakers are designed for young children, specifically within the kids' age group, suitable for active play and everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Lights are not working
Ensure the child has walked or moved enough to activate the lights. Check that the shoes are not wet, as moisture can affect the light mechanism. If the problem persists, the internal battery may have depleted.
Shoe feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the hook-and-loop instep strap for a more secure or comfortable fit. Ensure the fixed stretch laces are correctly positioned to provide support.
Material appears dirty or scuffed
Gently clean the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs on the midsole, try a magic eraser or a slightly damp cloth, but avoid saturating the light components.
Child has difficulty putting on the shoe
Encourage the child to lift the adjustable strap fully. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and the shoe opening is clear before sliding the foot in.
