The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide extra comfort and a secure fit around the heel, preventing slippage and adding cushioning.
Can I replace the insole if it wears out?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can typically be removed, allowing for replacement with other compatible insoles if needed.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the stretch laces offer an adaptive fit, ensure the correct size is chosen. For a tighter fit, ensure the heel is properly seated in the Heel Pillow®. For a looser feel, gently check if the foot is fully inserted.
Difficulty slipping shoes on/off
Ensure the child is using the heel tab correctly. Sometimes a slight twist or wiggle can help ease the foot in or out. Ensure the shoe is the correct size; too small a shoe will be difficult to put on.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly with regular use. Ensure the shoes are being cared for properly and avoid excessive heat during drying, which can impact the foam. If significant flattening occurs, consider replacing the insoles.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid rough use, such as dragging feet or playing in abrasive environments where the mesh can snag. Follow care instructions to maintain the material's condition.
