FAQs
How do I turn the lights on and off?
There is an on/off button located on the shoe, typically on the side or the strap. Press the button to activate or deactivate the lights.
How long do the lights last?
The battery life for the lights depends on usage frequency. When they begin to dim or stop working, the batteries can usually be replaced.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The electronic components for the lights could be damaged. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What size should I order?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for children's footwear. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the chart for the best fit, as sizes can vary between brands.
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
Yes, the Glide-Step design provides comfort and support for active play and light sports activities. They are designed for general athletic use and everyday wear.
What is the purpose of the Gore & Strap closure?
The Gore and Strap closure is designed for ease of use. The elastic gore provides a snug fit, while the strap with hook-and-loop fastener allows children to easily put on and take off their shoes independently.
Can the lights be removed?
The lights are integrated into the shoe and cannot typically be removed. The on/off button allows you to control when they are active.
Troubleshooting
Lights are not working
Ensure the on/off button is in the 'on' position. If the button is on and lights still do not function, the batteries may be depleted and require replacement.
Strap closure is not secure
Ensure the strap is firmly pressed onto the hook-and-loop fastener. Check for any debris on the strap or fastener that might be preventing a secure closure.
Shoes appear dirty or stained
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used. Allow to air dry completely.
Child finds the shoes uncomfortable
Verify the size is correct and there is adequate room for toes. Ensure the shoes are properly fastened but not too tight. The Glide-Step design aims for comfort, so discomfort may indicate a sizing issue.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes, especially near the light components. Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the soles and crevices.
- Drying: Air dry shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials and electronics.
