FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for general active play and outdoor adventures, offering good comfort and traction. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports like specialized cleats or running shoes.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to Skechers' sizing chart or consult store staff. Ensure there is a small amount of room for growth, but not so much that the shoe is loose.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning the exterior and interior.
What does 'adaptive closure' mean?
Adaptive closure refers to the system that makes it easy for children to secure their shoes. In this case, it includes stretch laces that offer a snug fit without traditional tying, combined with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap.
How waterproof are these trainers?
The synthetic upper is designed to be waterproof, providing protection against splashes and light rain. They are suitable for playing in damp conditions but may not be suitable for prolonged submersion in water.
What is the benefit of the fleece lining?
The fleece lining adds an extra layer of warmth and softness, making the trainers more comfortable for wear in cooler temperatures or for extended periods outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap. If still uncomfortable, verify the UK size against your child's foot measurement. Consider a different size if consistently ill-fitting.
Water seeping through
Ensure all seams are intact and the closure is securely fastened. For persistent leaks, the waterproof integrity may be compromised, and it may be time for a replacement.
Fleece lining feels damp
Allow shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Ensure they are fully dry before the next wear to prevent odour and mildew.
Traction seems poor
Clean the outsole tread of any mud, dirt, or debris. The outsole's effectiveness can be reduced when clogged with dirt.
