FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adaptive closure system with a hook-and-loop strap allows for some adjustability. However, they are designed with a standard fit. If your child has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on if possible or consult the brand's sizing chart for width recommendations.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Skechers sizing chart available on the product page or the brand's website to find the corresponding UK size.
Can these trainers be worn for sports like football or basketball?
The Skechers Glide-Step® Flow Trainers are designed for general wear and light activities. They are not specifically engineered for specialized sports like football or basketball, which often require specialized footwear for ankle support and traction.
What does 'adaptive closure' mean?
Adaptive closure refers to the shoe's fastening system, which includes fixed stretch laces and an adjustable hook-and-loop strap. This design allows for a secure fit that can be easily adjusted without traditional laces.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended only when necessary to maintain the integrity and lifespan of the shoe materials. For everyday cleaning, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is often sufficient.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design intended to provide enhanced cushioning and a smoother, more responsive stride with each step, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes seem too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a more secure or comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your child's foot according to the brand's sizing guide.
Difficulty securing the hook-and-loop strap
Ensure the strap is clean and free of debris. If the hook-and-loop material is worn, it may not provide a strong hold.
Material appears discolored after washing
Ensure you are using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach. Air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
Soles feel stiff
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften.
