FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash Skechers Slip-ins, especially those with memory foam insoles. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and shape of the shoe.
How do the 'Hands-Free Slip-Ins®' work?
The design includes a unique heel construction (Heel Pillow™) that holds the foot securely in place, allowing the wearer to step in and out of the shoe easily without needing to bend down or use their hands.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This is a cushioned insole designed to provide enhanced comfort and support. The 'Air-Cooled' feature indicates breathability, helping to keep feet cooler and drier.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
No, the stretch laces on this specific model are fixed and primarily for aesthetic and a snug fit, not for adjustability.
What is the recommended age group for these trainers?
These trainers are designed for kids, suitable for everyday wear and activities.
How durable are these trainers for rough play?
The trainers are built for regular kids' activities. While they have a durable outsole, they are primarily casual wear shoes and may show wear and tear faster under exceptionally rough or constant strenuous play compared to specialized sports footwear.
What is the difference between Bounder Pro and other Skechers lines?
The Bounder Pro line, particularly the Slip-ins version, emphasizes ease of wear with its hands-free technology and comfortable cushioning, making it ideal for children seeking convenience and comfort for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is clear and the child's foot is angled correctly. Try gently loosening the upper by hand before inserting the foot.
Insole feels uncomfortable or flat.
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If the shoe is new, the memory foam may need a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe meets the child's specific foot needs.
Shoes smell after wear.
Remove the insoles (if possible) and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning as per care instructions will also help.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear or tearing.
Avoid excessive friction or snagging on rough surfaces. For minor wear, a fabric glue might offer a temporary fix, but significant tears may indicate the shoes are outgrown or subjected to very strenuous activity.

Care Instructions: To clean the Skechers Slip-ins: Bounder Pro trainers, follow these steps:
- Remove excess dirt: Brush off any loose dirt or mud from the shoes.
- Spot Clean: Use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh and synthetic upper. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Insole Cleaning: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed for separate cleaning. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shoe shape during drying.
- Laces: Since the laces are fixed, avoid pulling or tugging excessively.
