Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Glide-Step® Flow trainers are designed for active kids seeking all-day comfort and an easy-to-wear fit. The key benefit is the combination of lightweight cushioning and a secure, adjustable closure system. A potential consideration is that the fixed stretch laces offer a snug fit but are not adjustable for individual foot width. Key features include a breathable mesh and synthetic upper, fixed stretch laces, an adjustable instep strap, a cushioned insole, and a geometric Glide-Step® midsole for smooth transitions.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, we do not recommend machine washing these trainers. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed with a geometric pattern to provide enhanced cushioning and promote smooth heel-to-toe transitions for a comfortable stride.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
The stretch laces are fixed for a convenient slip-on fit and cannot be adjusted. However, the instep strap can be adjusted for a personalized fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fixed stretch laces offer a snug fit, and the adjustable strap provides some customization. However, for very wide feet, the fit might be too restrictive.
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for kids and are suitable for active play and everyday wear.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the mesh. For dirt that is more embedded, use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the adjustable instep strap is loosened before putting the shoe on, then refasten for a secure but comfortable fit. If the fixed stretch laces are the primary issue, consider if this model is the best fit for the child's foot width.
Difficulty getting the shoe on
Loosen the adjustable instep strap as much as possible. Gently slide the foot in, ensuring the heel is seated correctly. The stretch laces are designed for a snug fit; if consistent difficulty occurs, the shoe may be too small or the foot shape may not be ideal for this design.
Insole feels slippery
Ensure the insole is dry. If the issue persists, a thin, breathable sock can help improve grip. For persistent slippage, consider adding a thin, anti-slip insole liner.
