Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Glide-Step® Flow trainers are designed for active kids who need comfortable and secure footwear for daily play. The key benefit is the combination of adaptive closure and cushioned support, allowing for easy on-off and all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that the fixed stretch laces may not suit children who need a highly customized fit. This sporty trainer features a lightweight mesh and synthetic upper, fixed stretch laces, an adjustable hook-and-loop strap, a cushioned comfort insole, and a geometric Glide-Step® midsole for responsive cushioning.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method for cleaning.
What is the primary benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed with a geometric pattern to provide enhanced cushioning, a smoother stride, and responsive support for active children.
How do the fixed stretch laces work?
The fixed stretch laces are elastic and designed to provide a snug and secure fit without the need for traditional tying. They work in conjunction with the hook-and-loop strap for adjustable comfort.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
The stretch laces are fixed and not designed to be adjusted. The primary adjustment for fit is done using the hook-and-loop strap.
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are designed for kids and are particularly suitable for those who need easy-to-use, comfortable, and supportive footwear for daily activities.
How should I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing guide and measure your child's foot. For this specific model, a UK kids' size 1.5 is provided. It's important to ensure a comfortable fit, not too tight or too loose.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of lightweight mesh and synthetic materials for breathability and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Child finds the fit uncomfortable
Loosen the hook-and-loop strap and ensure the foot is positioned correctly before re-securing. Check if the fixed stretch laces are causing pressure points and if a different size might be more appropriate.
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully released. Gently pull the tongue forward and guide the foot in. The adaptive closure is designed for ease, but a snug fit might require a bit of wiggling.
Laces appear too tight or too loose
The stretch laces are fixed for a consistent fit. Adjustments are primarily made with the hook-and-loop strap. If the laces themselves are the issue, this may indicate an incorrect size.
Tread wear after moderate use
This can occur with very active children on abrasive surfaces. Ensure the child is not using the trainers for activities they are not designed for (e.g., rough terrain climbing). Check for and clean any debris caught in the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply ensure the hook-and-loop strap is adjusted for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for general everyday wear for kids. They pair well with casual outfits, athletic wear, and school uniforms.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Insole: The cushioned insole can typically be spot cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Allow it to air dry completely.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the geometric midsole and rubber outsole. Ensure any mud or debris is removed.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the materials.
