FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean these with a damp cloth. Machine washing can damage the synthetic finish and the structural integrity of the airbag.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard UK children's footwear sizing. If your child wears thick socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are removable, making it easier to clean the interior of the shoe or insert custom orthotics if needed.
Is the material waterproof?
The synthetic duraleather is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
What is the purpose of the visible airbag?
The Skech-Air unit acts as a shock absorber in the heel, reducing the impact force on the joints when walking or running.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Relace the sneakers using a different lacing pattern (such as skipping the middle eyelets) to reduce pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Scuffs appearing on the metallic trim
Use a soft, non-abrasive eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe to gently buff out minor surface marks.
Insoles feel compressed over time
Remove the insoles to let them air out thoroughly after heavy use, or consider replacing them with generic cushioned sport insoles if the memory foam has lost its bounce.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to match the volume of your child's foot. A snug, but not tight, fit is recommended to utilize the memory foam cushioning properly.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic duraleather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could strip the metallic finish.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the airbag and the foam insoles.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or becoming brittle.
