Product Information

Full details

These Skechers Glide Step Flow trainers are designed for active young boys needing durable and comfortable footwear for daily wear, playground activities, and school sports. Their key benefit lies in their ease of use and maintenance, being machine washable and featuring a simple Velcro and bungee lace system. A potential caveat is that the material may not be suitable for very rough, prolonged outdoor use in harsh weather conditions. Key features include a man-made upper, textile lining and footbed, and a secure fastening system.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for a child with wide feet?

The Glide Step Flow series generally offers a standard fit. While the bungee laces offer some adjustability, if your child has particularly wide feet, it may be best to try them on in person or consult Skechers' sizing guide for width information.

How long do the bungee laces last?

The bungee laces are designed for durability in children's footwear. However, excessive pulling or rough handling could potentially lead to wear over time.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While they can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. For heavy rain or very wet conditions, a waterproof shoe would be more appropriate. They are, however, machine washable if they get wet and dirty.

What is the intended age group for these trainers?

These trainers are specifically designed for kids, particularly boys, and are suitable for general active play and school use.

What size is '4' in UK children's sizing?

UK Size 4 is a standard children's shoe size. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the Skechers size chart for the most accurate fit.

How often should I machine wash these trainers?

Machine wash as needed when the shoes become dirty. Frequent washing can extend the life of the shoe by removing dirt and grime that can cause wear over time, but always use cold water and air dry.

Does the 'Glide Step Flow' design offer specific support features?

The 'Glide Step Flow' design focuses on providing a smooth, comfortable stride and good cushioning suitable for active kids, promoting comfort during movement.

Troubleshooting

Velcro strap not securing tightly.

Ensure the Velcro area is clean and free of debris. Try pressing firmly to engage the hook and loop fasteners.

Shoes appear too small or too large.

Refer to the Skechers sizing chart and ensure the child's foot is measured correctly from heel to longest toe. Consider the specific UK size provided (Size 4 in this case).

Slight odor after wear.

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Baking soda can be used inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular machine washing can also help.

Material scuffing easily.

For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may help. These shoes are designed for active play, and some wear is normal. For extensive damage, consider the type of play and environment.
