Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Flow Trainers are designed for active young boys, offering a blend of comfort, durability, and ease of use for everyday play and light athletic activities. Their key benefit is the innovative Glide-Step® technology combined with an adaptive closure system for quick on-and-off. A potential caveat is that the mesh upper, while breathable, may require more attention to keep clean during rigorous outdoor play.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The adaptive closure system with a hook-and-loop strap allows for some adjustability. However, for very wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible, as the fit can vary.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
The stretch laces are fixed and designed to provide a snug fit. The primary adjustment comes from the hook-and-loop strap.
What is the Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology refers to the geometric design of the midsole, engineered to create smoother heel-to-toe transitions and provide enhanced cushioning for comfort during movement.
How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers, which typically correlates UK kids' shoe sizes with foot measurements. Ensure you measure your child's foot accurately before ordering.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers are made with breathable mesh and synthetic materials and are not waterproof. They are designed for comfort and ventilation during dry or mildly damp conditions.
Can I replace the insole?
The insole is integrated for comfort. While not designed for easy removal, if a replacement is needed due to wear, you might be able to insert a compatible thin insole if space allows, but this is not standard procedure.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are specifically designed for kids, fitting into the 'kids' age group category, with sizes catering to younger children.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the foot is properly positioned within the shoe before fastening.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Loosen the hook-and-loop strap fully. Ensure the tongue is aligned and the foot is slid in smoothly. The fixed stretch laces may require some initial stretching.
Smell after wear
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Ensure feet are dry before putting on. Use baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, or wash according to care instructions.
Material discoloration after washing
Ensure only cold water and mild detergent were used. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Always air dry away from direct heat sources. If discoloration persists, it may be due to the nature of the stain or fabric.
