Skechers Bounder Slip-Ins Childrens - Black - Size 12

While the product attributes list the gender as 'Male', the design and features of the Skechers Bounder Slip-ins are generally suitable and comfortable for any child. The primary focus is on effortless wear and comfort for active kids.

Yes, these shoes are machine washable. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section under 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' for detailed steps to ensure proper cleaning and longevity.

`TOUCHLESS FIT®` refers to the design that allows your child to easily slide their foot into the shoe without needing to use their hands, creating a seamless and effortless wearing experience.

The `Heel Pillow™` is an exclusive Skechers technology located in the heel area of the shoe. It provides extra cushioning and helps to securely hold the heel in place, preventing slippage and enhancing overall comfort.

No, these shoes feature stretch laces. They provide a snug and secure fit without the need for tying or adjusting, contributing to the `Hands Free Slip-ins®` design.

While comfortable for active play, these shoes are best suited for everyday wear, casual running, and light activities. For intense sports requiring specific foot support or adjustable lacing for a very tight fit, a dedicated athletic shoe might be more appropriate.

The upper of the Skechers Bounder Slip-ins is made from a blend of mesh and synthetic material, offering breathability and durability.

Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Skechers `Heel Pillow™` and stretch laces are designed for a secure fit; however, if the shoe feels consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. Also, check the type of socks being worn; thicker socks might make the shoe feel tighter, and thinner socks might make it feel looser.

The Skechers Bounder Slip-ins are machine washable! Follow the care instructions outlined in the 'Care Instructions' section: wash on a gentle cycle with cold water in a laundry bag, and air dry only. Regular cleaning will keep them looking fresh.

While the `Heel Pillow™` is designed to prevent this, ensure your child's foot is properly seated within the shoe. If the issue persists, the shoe might be slightly too large. Check the fit by having your child stand; there should be a small thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
