FAQs
How do Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
They feature a unique heel design and structure that allows you to simply step in without bending down or using your hands. The Heel Pillow® provides a secure and comfortable fit once your foot is inside.
Can these shoes be worn for sports?
These trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities. For high-impact sports, specialized athletic footwear designed for those specific activities is recommended.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The stretch laces and flexible upper offer some adaptability. However, if your child has particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on first or consider models specifically designed for wider fits.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
You can machine wash them as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become soiled. Regular washing will help maintain their freshness and appearance.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered with geometric cushioning to provide a smooth transition from heel to toe and enhance comfort during walking and play.
Is the insole removable?
While the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort, it is generally not intended to be removed. The shoes are designed to be washed with the insole inside.
What is the recommended age group for these shoes?
These shoes are designed for kids, offering features that support their active lifestyle and independence.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
The stretch laces provide a flexible fit. Ensure the heel is properly seated in the Heel Pillow®. If the fit is consistently problematic, consider trying a different size or model.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is pulled back slightly and the shoe is placed on a flat surface. Push the foot in firmly but gently. The design is meant to be snug for a secure fit.
Shoe loses shape after washing
Always air dry the shoes. Avoid using a machine dryer, as excessive heat can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure. Ensure they are completely dry before wear.
Odor develops
Machine wash the shoes periodically. For persistent odors, sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let them sit overnight before wearing or washing.
