FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear, school, and light recreational activities. For intense sports, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can often be removed for spot cleaning with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Hand-wash or spot clean as per the care instructions to maintain their structure and materials.
What does 'Hands-Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on, thanks to the Heel Pillow™ design.
Are the stretch laces adjustable?
The stretch laces provide a snug fit but are not designed for traditional adjustment. They offer flexibility and a secure feel as part of the slip-on design.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
Glide-Step® is a midsole technology that provides responsive cushioning with a geometric design to promote a smoother stride and enhance comfort during movement.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
It's recommended to check Skechers' sizing chart and, if possible, measure your child's foot. Due to variations in fit, trying them on is the most reliable method.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is fully extended and try wiggling the foot gently. If the shoe is the correct size, the Heel Pillow™ may need a brief break-in period.
Insole feels uncomfortable or flat
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may need time to conform to the foot. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct.
Shoes appear dirty after play
Follow the care instructions above, using a damp cloth for general cleaning and appropriate cleaners for specific materials like leather.
Slight odor developing
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure feet are dry before putting on shoes.
