FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for general everyday activities and comfort during play. For specialized sports requiring specific support or performance features, a dedicated athletic shoe might be more appropriate.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
No, the stretch laces on this model are fixed and decorative, contributing to the slip-in design. They are not intended for adjustment.
How do I clean the purple mesh upper?
Spot clean the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The design incorporates an expanded heel area and a supportive structure that holds the shoe open, allowing a child to slide their foot in easily without bending down or using their hands to pull them on.
Is there arch support in these shoes?
The shoes feature a Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole which provides cushioning and general comfort. Specific medical-grade arch support is not a primary feature of this design.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal component designed to provide extra cushioning and a secure, comfortable fit around the heel area, preventing slippage.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and affect the cushioning. Hand wash and air dry only.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight/loose
While the stretch laces are fixed, ensure the correct size has been purchased. The Heel Pillow® and slip-in design aim for a secure fit. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or style.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel is fully pushed down into the Heel Pillow® area. Sometimes a slight wiggle helps. Check that the child's foot is not impeded by socks or debris.
Insole feels flat over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides cushioning. If it feels less supportive after prolonged use, it may be time to consider replacement, though this is not a typical issue within the expected lifespan.
Materials get dirty easily
Spot clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions. For heavier dirt, a gentle brush may be used, followed by spot cleaning.
