FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Skechers Glide-Step Flow trainers are designed for everyday wear and general athletic activities like running and playing. They are not specialized for high-impact sports requiring specific support or advanced features.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart and measure your child's foot. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The adaptive closure allows for some adjustment, but the base fit is crucial.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The insoles are designed to be cushioned and supportive. While they are often removable for cleaning, they are not typically designed for replacement. If an insole is damaged, it may be necessary to consider a new pair of shoes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. The mesh and synthetic upper provide breathability but offer limited protection against significant water exposure.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered with a geometric design to promote a smooth transition from heel to toe with each step, enhancing comfort and providing a lighter feel during movement.
How durable are these trainers for kids?
These trainers are built with materials suitable for active children's play, featuring a durable outsole and reinforced construction in key areas. However, extreme wear and tear can affect any footwear.
What age group are these trainers intended for?
These trainers are designed for kids, specifically catering to younger children with their easy-to-use closure system and comfortable design.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting the hook-and-loop strap
Ensure the strap is not obstructed by debris. If the hook-and-loop material has lost some grip, try cleaning both the hook and loop sides gently with a stiff brush.
Foot feels too tight or loose despite strap adjustment
While the strap offers adjustability, the fixed stretch laces provide a base fit. Consider if the overall shoe shape is suitable for the child's foot. For very narrow or wide feet, other Skechers models might offer a better fit.
Discoloration on the mesh upper
For minor discoloration, try cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can affect the color or material.
Insole feels lumpy or uncomfortable
Ensure the insole is seated correctly. If the lump persists, it may indicate an issue with the insole's structure. Contact customer support if the issue is persistent and new.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for children with standard to slightly wider feet due to the adaptive closure. Designed for use on various surfaces including playgrounds, sidewalks, and indoor flooring.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic materials. For tougher stains, a mild soap can be used with the damp cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe down the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a soft brush.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Ensure they are fully dry before wearing again.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Do not put these trainers in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
