FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® is a patented technology that allows you to easily slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down, use your hands, or tie laces. The design includes a unique Heel Pillow® that holds your foot securely in place.
Are these sneakers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole and Heel Pillow® cushioning, these sneakers are designed to provide long-lasting comfort and support, making them ideal for all-day wear for active children.
Can my child wear these for sports activities?
These sneakers are best suited for casual wear, school, and light playground activities. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specifically designed for high-impact sports or specialized athletic performance.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Skechers size chart for children's UK sizes. If your child is between sizes, consider the half size up to allow for growth and comfort, keeping in mind the slip-in feature requires a secure fit.
What is the Heel Pillow® feature?
The Heel Pillow® is a unique design element within the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® that gently cradles the back of the foot, providing enhanced comfort and helping to hold the foot securely in place as you slip the shoe on.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. To maintain their integrity and features, please follow the care instructions for hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, and then air drying.
Troubleshooting
My child's foot keeps slipping out of the shoe.
Ensure the shoe is the correct size. While designed for easy slip-in, an overly large shoe can cause slippage. The adaptive closure should provide a snug fit, but if the shoe feels loose, consider a half size smaller if available, or check if the foot is properly seated against the Heel Pillow®.
The shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after wearing for a while.
Allow a short break-in period for the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole to conform to the foot. If discomfort persists, double-check the sizing. Children's feet grow quickly, so ensure the current size is still appropriate. The stretch laces offer flexibility, but extreme tightness might indicate the shoe is too small.
The shoes look dirty or scuffed after playtime.
For general dirt, wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry completely.
