FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology. Please clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.
How does the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature work?
The Hands Free Slip-ins® feature incorporates a unique design, including a Heel Pillow®, that allows your child to easily slide their foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use their hands. The heel pillow gently holds the foot in place for a secure fit.
What is Air-Cooled Memory Foam®?
Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is a cushioned insole designed to provide superior comfort and breathability. It molds to the shape of the foot for personalized support and helps dissipate heat to keep feet cool.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Bounder - Simple Cute sneakers feature stretch laces and a mesh upper for a flexible fit. While they adapt well, for specific wide-fit requirements, it's best to try them on or consult a sizing guide. They do not come in specific 'wide' variants.
What activities are these shoes best for?
These sneakers are ideal for everyday casual wear, school, playgrounds, and light to moderate activities. They offer comfort and support for general play but are not designed for rigorous sports training or specialized athletic performance.
How do I clean the purple color to prevent fading?
To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents, as these can contribute to color fading. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off easily.
Ensure the correct size was selected. The Heel Pillow® is designed for a secure fit, but an incorrect size can affect performance. Consider wearing thicker socks.
Difficulty slipping feet into the shoes.
Ensure the foot is positioned correctly at the opening. The Hands Free Slip-ins® design is intuitive, but a slight angle adjustment may be needed. Avoid pushing down on the heel counter forcefully.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Check if the shoe size is appropriate. Ensure socks are worn to prevent friction. If the issue persists, the shoe might not be the best fit for the child's specific foot shape.
Shoes appear dirty or stained.
Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow to air dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole feels less cushioned over time.
This is normal wear and tear for foam insoles over extended use. Ensure shoes are allowed to air out between wears to maintain freshness.
