FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
The Skechers Elite Sport Tread - Aquavek are designed to be water-friendly, meaning they handle wet conditions well and dry relatively quickly. They are not fully waterproof for prolonged submersion.
How do I clean mud or dirt off these trainers?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper. For the outsole, a soft brush can help remove dried mud. Always air dry.
What is the purpose of the adaptive closure?
The adaptive closure, along with the stretch laces, provides a secure and adjustable fit that is easy for children to manage themselves, ensuring the shoe stays comfortably in place during activity.
Can these trainers be used for competitive sports?
These trainers are excellent for general athletic activities and training. For highly competitive or specialized sports, specific performance footwear may offer advanced features.
What sizes are these trainers available in?
These trainers are available in various children's sizes, specifically UK children's sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the exact size range.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent any odor or material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes smell after use.
Ensure shoes are properly dried after exposure to moisture. Use baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then air them out.
Laces are difficult to adjust.
The stretch laces are designed for a snug fit. Ensure they are seated correctly in the eyelets. If needed, consult the Skechers website for lace-tying tips.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that might be obstructing the tread pattern. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn.
Discoloration after getting wet.
This can occur with some materials when wet. Try cleaning with a mild detergent and water, then air dry completely.
