FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light activities. For high-impact sports requiring specialized support, specific athletic footwear is recommended.

How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?

Refer to Skechers' official sizing chart and measure your child's foot length. The provided size is in UK children's sizing. Ensure a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.

Can the laces be replaced if they break?

The laces are fixed stretch laces designed to work with the adaptive closure. They are not intended to be replaced. If they become damaged, the shoe's closure system may be compromised.

How often should I machine wash these trainers?

Machine washing is recommended as needed, typically when the trainers are visibly dirty. Avoid frequent washing to preserve the material integrity and cushioning.

What is the 'Glide-Step®' feature?

Glide-Step® refers to the geometric design of the midsole, engineered to provide enhanced cushioning and a smoother, more comfortable walking or running experience.

Is there an alternative closure system if my child needs a more traditional lace-up?

The Glide-Step Flow series primarily features adaptive closures. Skechers offers various other trainer models with traditional lace-up options if that is preferred.

What is the benefit of the geometric pattern?

The geometric pattern contributes to the overall sporty aesthetic of the trainer. The midsole's geometric shape is also engineered for cushioning and performance.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too loose

Tighten the adjustable instep strap. Ensure the fixed stretch laces are pulled snug. If the shoe remains loose, consider if this size is appropriate for your child's foot width.

Difficulty putting the trainer on

Ensure the tongue is fully extended and the foot is inserted correctly. Gently pull the heel tab to assist. The adaptive closure is designed for ease, so if significant force is needed, check for obstructions or incorrect foot placement.

Material scuffing or wear

Minor scuffs can often be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, refer to the care instructions. Significant wear and tear may indicate the shoes are outgrown or subjected to unusually strenuous activity.

Trainer doesn't seem to have enough cushioning

The Glide-Step® midsole provides moderate cushioning. If more support is needed for specific activities, consider the child's specific needs and consult with a footwear specialist.
