FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These Skechers Glide-Step Flow trainers are designed for kids, specifically within the young boys' age group, offering comfort and ease of use for active play.
How do the 'fixed stretch laces' work?
The fixed stretch laces are elasticated and non-functional for tying. They provide a snug, sock-like fit to the forefoot, working in conjunction with the adjustable hook-and-loop strap for closure.
Are these shoes good for sports?
These trainers are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities like running, playing at the park, or school. They are not designed for intense or specialized sports.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design that provides enhanced cushioning, a smooth stride, and helps absorb impact during active movement, contributing to overall comfort.
Can the insoles be removed?
Often, Skechers insoles are designed to be removable for airing or cleaning. It's recommended to check if the insole can be easily lifted out. If so, it can be spot cleaned and air-dried separately.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
For mesh areas, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, brushing gently. Wipe away any residue with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely away from heat.
What size is represented in this guide?
This guide specifically references the Skechers Glide-Step Flow trainers in Navy Blue/White, size 11.5 UK Kids.
Troubleshooting
Shoes seem too tight or loose.
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as sizes can vary between brands and even models.
Difficulty putting shoes on.
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully unfastened. Gently pull the tongue forward and ease the foot in. The fixed stretch laces are designed for a snug fit, so some gentle manipulation may be needed initially.
Sole feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The Glide-Step® midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to the foot. Ensure no debris is stuck in the geometric patterns of the sole.
Discoloration or scuff marks.
Follow the care instructions for cleaning. For minor scuffs on synthetic materials, a damp cloth may suffice. For persistent marks, consult specific shoe cleaning guides for synthetic and mesh materials.
