FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Skechers Glide-Step Flow trainers are designed for general active play, walking, and casual wear. For high-impact sports or specialized athletic activities, dedicated sports shoes may be more appropriate.
Can the laces be replaced?
The shoes feature fixed stretch laces designed for convenience. They are not intended to be replaced with traditional laces.
How often should I wash the trainers?
Wash the trainers as needed when they appear dirty or start to smell. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the materials, so focus on cleaning them when necessary.
What is the benefit of the geometric midsole?
The geometric design of the Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide smoother transitions from heel strike to toe-off, enhancing overall comfort and promoting a natural walking motion.
How do I ensure I buy the correct size?
Refer to Skechers' sizing chart and measure your child's foot to find the corresponding UK size. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe becomes loose or causes tripping.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some resistance, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoe is difficult to put on
Loosen the hook-and-loop strap completely and ensure the tongue is fully extended. Gently slide the foot in, then re-secure the strap.
Shoes still smell after washing
Ensure the shoes are completely dry, as residual moisture can contribute to odor. Try placing baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells before wearing.
Hook-and-loop strap not adhering well
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces by brushing away any lint or debris. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before fastening.
Uneven wear on the sole
Check the child's gait for any abnormalities. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (walking, light play) and not for strenuous activities that could cause uneven wear.
