FAQs
Are these sneakers waterproof?
No, the Skechers UNO Gen1 - Shimmer Away is not water-resistant and should be kept away from excessive moisture.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is generally recommended to clean these by hand using a damp cloth to protect the metallic detailing and the integrity of the airbag midsole.
What type of support do these offer?
These trainers feature Air-Cooled Memory Foam for arch comfort and a Skech-Air airbag for heel-strike shock absorption.
How should I choose the right size?
The shoes are designed as a regular fit. Measure your child's foot length and refer to the standard UK size chart for an accurate match.
Are these suitable for sports?
While they are comfortable and supportive for daily activities, they are categorized as fashion sneakers and are not intended for high-intensity competitive sports.
Do the metallic details peel off?
The metallic trim is designed for durability under normal wear, but avoid abrasive surfaces to prevent scratching.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel tight after a long day
Feet often swell slightly during the day. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly and consider wearing thinner socks for a more comfortable fit.
Visible dirt on metallic trim
Gently clean the metallic accents with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Insole sliding or bunching
Remove the insole, ensure the interior of the shoe is clean and dry, and reposition the insole carefully so it sits flat against the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers sneakers, follow these care instructions:
- Fit: The shoes follow a regular fit; ensure you measure the child's foot with socks on to guarantee the correct UK size.
- Cleaning: Since the upper is synthetic duraleather, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place shoes in a clothes dryer or near a direct heat source, as this can degrade the foam and synthetic adhesive.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the laces for wear and ensure the insole is lying flat to maintain proper foot alignment.
