FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities like running and playing. For highly intense sports requiring specific support, a dedicated athletic shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers and measure your child's foot from heel to toe. Ensure a comfortable fit, not too tight or too loose, as they are slip-ons.
Can the insoles be removed for washing?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles can typically be removed. It is recommended to hand wash them and air dry them separately from the shoes.
What does 'Hands-Free Slip-Ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off without using your hands to hold the back of the shoe, thanks to a special heel construction.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage. For daily wear and typical activities, the cushioning should remain effective for many months. Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain its performance.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some breathability, they are not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light splashes, but prolonged exposure to water may affect comfort and material integrity.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and synthetic materials, providing both breathability and durability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on initially.
The materials may be stiff when new. Gently flex the shoe before wearing and wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The Heel Pillow® design will soften with use.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned after some wear.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require airing out. Remove the insole and allow it to air dry for 24 hours. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole.
Color transfer from the shoe to socks.
This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored footwear. It is recommended to wash the shoes separately for the first few washes or wear darker socks until any excess dye has been removed.
Shoes are not drying properly after washing.
Ensure the shoes are thoroughly drained before air drying. Do not place them in a dryer or near direct heat. Stuffing them loosely with a clean, dry towel can help absorb internal moisture and speed up drying.
