FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the Skechers Bounder is designed with comfort and durability for active children, making them an excellent choice for daily school wear and playground activities.
Can these sneakers be machine washed?
No, it is generally recommended to hand wash Skechers sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials and construction. Please refer to the 'Care' section for cleaning instructions.
What is the best way to clean the orange color?
To clean the orange Skechers Bounder, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe down the affected areas, then allow them to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could fade the color.
Does the 'Gore & Strap' mean there are laces?
No, 'Gore & Strap' refers to an elasticated panel (gore) and a hook-and-loop closure (strap), providing a secure fit without traditional laces. This design makes the shoes easy for children to put on and take off by themselves.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Skechers Bounder sneakers are not waterproof. They are designed for general everyday wear and light activities, so they may get wet in rain or puddles. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water.
How do I know if the size 12 UK Child is correct?
The best way to check is to have your child try them on with typical socks. There should be about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe, and their heel should feel secure without slipping.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK Child size 12. Try adjusting the hook-and-loop strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Also, consider the type of socks being worn; thinner or thicker socks can impact fit.
Shoes get dirty easily and are hard to clean.
For best results, clean the shoes regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid letting dirt dry and cake on for too long. Do not machine wash.
The hook-and-loop strap is losing its grip.
Over time, lint or debris can accumulate on the hook-and-loop fasteners. Use a stiff brush or a pair of tweezers to carefully remove any fuzz or dirt from both sides of the strap to restore its adhesion.
Child complains of discomfort after wearing for a while.
First, double-check the sizing. If the size is correct, ensure socks are appropriate and not bunching. Inspect the inside of the shoe for any loose threads or debris. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist.
