FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Skechers FLEX-GLOW BOLT trainers feature a textile upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They can withstand light splashes, but we recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles to protect the shoes and the light-up components.

Can the light-up feature be turned off?

These trainers do not typically have an on/off switch for the lights. The lights are motion-activated and designed to flash with every step. They will eventually stop working when the internal battery is depleted.

How do I clean the light-up trainers?

To clean, gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, you can use a brush. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or submerge the shoes in water, as this can damage the light-up system.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday active play, offering comfort and durability. While suitable for general running and jumping, they are not specialized athletic shoes for specific sports performance.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The heel height for these trainers is low, ranging from 2.5cm to 4.9cm, providing a comfortable and stable base for active children.

What age group are these trainers for?

These trainers are designed for kids, specifically boys, and are available in various UK children's sizes, including toddler sizes, to fit young, active feet.

Troubleshooting

Lights are not flashing or are dim.

The light-up feature is battery-operated and will eventually deplete. Ensure the shoes haven't been submerged in water, as this can affect the electronics. There is no user-replaceable battery or charging port for this model. The lights will naturally stop working over time.

Shoes get dirty quickly from play.

The textile upper is prone to collecting dirt during active play. Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt on the rubber sole, use a soft brush. Consistent, gentle cleaning after use will help maintain their appearance.

Laces constantly come undone.

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. If the laces are worn or slippery, consider replacing them with new ones that offer better grip. Regularly checking the knots before your child goes out can prevent this issue.

Child complains of discomfort or rubbing.

Check the fit. Ensure the laces are neither too tight nor too loose. Make sure your child is wearing appropriate socks. Sometimes, new shoes need a short 'break-in' period. If discomfort persists, verify the shoe size and width are correct.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Skechers FLEX-GLOW BOLT trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove trainers from packaging.
  2. Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces to comfortably insert your child's foot.
  3. Insert Foot: Ensure the foot slides in smoothly and the heel is seated correctly.
  4. Adjust & Tie: Tighten laces for a snug, secure fit without being too tight, then tie a secure knot.
  5. Test Fit: Have your child walk a few steps to ensure comfort and proper fit before extended wear.

Compatibility

These trainers are specifically designed for:

  • Age Group: Kids, particularly young boys (available in UK toddler sizes like 4.5, 5.5, 6, and UK 5).
  • Style: Casual trainer, suitable for everyday wear.
  • Activities: Best for daily walking, playing, and light recreational activities.

Care Instructions

Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of the trainers, especially the light-up feature:

  • Cleaning:
  • Gently wipe the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • For the rubber sole, a brush can help remove dirt and mud.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the light-up components and shoe structure.
  • Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Water Exposure: While durable, the light-up feature may be sensitive to excessive water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or wearing them in very heavy rain for extended periods to protect the internal wiring.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
