Skechers Bounder - Black - Size: UK 4

These Skechers Bounder - Trekzic trainers are designed for everyday casual wear, light play, and general activities. While they offer comfort and support for active children, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or specialized sports that require specific athletic features like enhanced stability or impact absorption.

We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the Skechers official sizing chart. For the best fit, measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Remember to leave about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

A 'Relaxed Shoe Width' design means the shoe offers a roomier, more comfortable fit across the forefoot and toe area compared to standard widths. This provides extra space for natural toe splay and reduces pressure points, enhancing overall comfort for children's feet.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided, which suggest spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.

The Skechers Bounder - Trekzic features a cushioned comfort insole designed to provide general underfoot cushioning and comfort. While it offers some support, it is not a specialized orthotic arch support. If your child requires specific arch support, consult a pediatrician or podiatrist.

Replacement insoles specifically for this model may not be readily available from Skechers. However, many universal comfort insoles or child-specific orthotic insoles can be purchased separately and may fit, depending on their design and thickness.

Check the adjustable instep strap. Ensure it's fastened securely but not overly tight. For tightness, loosen the strap slightly. For looseness, tighten the strap to provide a snug fit without discomfort. Also, ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks.

Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Use a soft brush for stubborn dirt, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Air dry completely.

While the mesh offers breathability, some feet naturally sweat more. Ensure your child wears moisture-wicking socks. You can also try removing the insoles and airing out the shoes regularly between wears. If possible, alternate between two pairs of shoes.

Inspect the sole for embedded debris like small stones or dirt, and carefully remove them. Clean the sole with a stiff brush and water to restore traction. If the tread is significantly worn down, it might be time for a new pair to ensure safety.
