FAQs
Are the lights on these trainers constantly on?
No, the lights are activated by impact during walking or running. There is also an on/off button to control the lights, allowing you to conserve battery life or disable them when not desired.
How do I clean the Skechers Glide-Step Lights Trainers?
Clean them by gently wiping the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is Glide-Step technology?
Glide-Step technology is incorporated into the sole design to provide enhanced cushioning and a smoother stride, making walking and active play more comfortable for children.
Can children easily put these trainers on by themselves?
The adaptive closure system is designed for ease of use, allowing most children to put them on and take them off independently. However, very young children might need some initial assistance.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to protect the materials and electronic components.
How long do the lights typically last?
The lights are powered by internal batteries that are not user-replaceable. They are designed to last for the typical wear life of the shoe. Performance may vary based on usage.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Information regarding warranty periods would typically be found on the retailer's website or the Skechers official warranty documentation. It is generally recommended to check with the point of purchase for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Lights are not turning on
Ensure the on/off button is in the 'on' position. The lights are activated by impact, so try walking or stepping firmly. If they still do not work, the battery may be depleted or the lights may have reached the end of their lifespan.
Shoes appear dirty or stained
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of mild soap to a damp cloth or soft brush and gently scrub. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Difficulty with the adaptive closure
Practice using the closure system. For younger children, demonstrate how to fasten and unfasten. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before securing.
The shoes smell unpleasant
Remove the insoles (if possible) and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are properly dried after cleaning or getting wet.
