FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoe is designed to be put on and taken off without the need to use your hands. You can simply step into them, and the Heel Pillow® design helps to secure your foot.
Are the laces adjustable?
The Skechers Bounder Pro features fixed stretch laces. They are designed to provide a secure fit without the need for tying, but they are not adjustable in the traditional sense.
How do I clean the Skechers Bounder Pro trainers?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For insoles, if removable, hand wash and air dry. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This is a cushioned insole designed to provide enhanced comfort and breathability, helping to keep feet cool and comfortable during wear.
Is this shoe suitable for sports?
The Bounder Pro is designed for comfort and casual wear. While suitable for light activities like playground fun or walking, it may not offer the specialized support or durability required for intense athletic training.
What age group is this shoe for?
This particular model is designed for kids, fitting into the 'kids' age group category.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose despite being the correct size.
Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. The adaptive closure should provide a snug fit; if it feels too restrictive, check for any internal obstructions. If too loose, a thicker sock might help, or consider if a different size or model would be more suitable.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being obstructed. Gently pull the collar of the shoe outwards as you slide your foot in. If persistent, check if the size is appropriate or if the shoe is too narrow for the foot.
Insole feels uncomfortable or flattened.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may take a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, ensure the insole is correctly seated. Consider if a different type of insole or sock might be preferred for added support or cushioning.
Material shows signs of wear quickly.
Review usage. These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. Avoid using them for rigorous sports or in harsh conditions that could accelerate wear and tear on the mesh or synthetic upper.
