FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
The Skechers Velocitrek - Rugged-Rush trainers feature a waterproof synthetic upper, offering resistance to water. They are suitable for keeping feet dry in wet conditions like rain or puddles, but prolonged submersion may lead to moisture ingress.
How should I clean these trainers?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. The insole can be spot-cleaned. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat if they get wet.
What is the closure system like?
They feature an adaptive closure system with stretch laces for a snug fit and a hook-and-loop instep strap for easy and quick adjustments.
Are these suitable for very cold weather?
The trainers are fully lined in fleece, providing warmth and comfort, making them suitable for cooler temperatures. However, they are not insulated winter boots.
What does 'adaptive closure' mean?
Adaptive closure means the shoe uses features like stretch laces and a hook-and-loop strap to allow for a customizable and secure fit that can adapt to different foot shapes and widths within reason.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are designed for kids, featuring an adaptive closure and comfort elements suitable for young, active children.
Can these be worn for sports?
While designed for general outdoor adventures and active play, they offer good traction and support. For highly specific sports, dedicated athletic footwear might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Child finds shoes difficult to put on.
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully opened. Gently pull the tongue forward to create more space for the foot.
Shoes appear wet inside after light rain.
While designed for water resistance, prolonged exposure or heavy rain might lead to moisture. Ensure the shoes are dried thoroughly after each use. Check for any damage to the upper that might compromise waterproofing.
Hook-and-loop strap is losing its grip.
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the strap with a stiff brush or by wiping with a damp cloth to remove trapped debris. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly when fastening.
Foot appears to be slipping inside the shoe.
Check if the stretch laces are tightened appropriately. Adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a more secure fit. Ensure the correct shoe size has been selected.
