FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for all types of sports?

These trainers are ideal for general athletic play and casual activities. While they offer comfort and support, for specialized sports like basketball or football, we recommend footwear designed specifically for those activities.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to our sizing chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and growth.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for the best way to clean your trainers.

Do the stretch laces need to be tied?

No, the stretch laces are designed for a slip-on fit and do not need to be tied. The rip-tape strap provides the primary adjustment for securing the shoe on the foot.

Are these trainers durable enough for active kids?

Yes, with a durable rubber sole and sturdy synthetic/mesh uppers, these trainers are built to withstand the rigors of active play and everyday wear, provided they are cared for properly.

Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?

This specific variant is blue and UK size 2. However, the Skechers Bounder series often comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Please check product listings for other available options.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.

Adjust the rip-tape strap. For a looser fit, lessen the tension; for a snugger fit, pull the strap more firmly before fastening. Also, ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks, as sock thickness can affect fit.

The rip-tape strap is losing its stickiness.

Over time, lint, dirt, and debris can accumulate in the hook-and-loop fasteners. Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) or tweezers to carefully clean out any trapped material. This often restores much of the original grip.

My child's feet are getting warm or sweaty.

Ensure your child is wearing breathable socks made from cotton or moisture-wicking materials. While the mesh uppers offer breathability, persistent issues might indicate a need for a lighter sock or allowing the shoes to air out more frequently.

There's a strange smell coming from the trainers.

Foot odor is common. Regularly air out the trainers when not in use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning.

The trainers appear dirty or stained.

Clean promptly using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. For stubborn stains on synthetic materials, a small amount of diluted stain remover (tested on an inconspicuous area first) might be used, followed by rinsing and air drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless Wear: The combination of stretch laces and a rip-tape strap allows for quick and easy putting on and taking off, ideal for children.
  • Superior Comfort: Cushioned insoles ensure comfort throughout the day, whether at school or play.
  • Agility-Friendly: Lightweight design helps keep kids agile and reduces foot fatigue.
  • Versatile Style: The athletic and contemporary look makes them suitable for a wide range of casual occasions.
  • Good Traction: Rubber sole provides stable footing on various surfaces.

Cons

  • Rip-tape Wear: The rip-tape strap may eventually lose its stickiness with frequent use, potentially before the shoe itself wears out.
  • Limited Sport Specialization: While suitable for general activity, they are not designed for high-impact or specialized athletic performance.
  • Color Specificity: This particular model is blue, limiting color choice for those seeking other options (though other variants exist).
  • Breathability for Intense Play: While mesh offers breathability, for extremely intense and prolonged activity, feet might still get warm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting started with your Skechers Bounder Trekzic Trainers is straightforward, focusing on proper fit and simple maintenance to ensure longevity.

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Remove trainers from packaging and inspect for any shipping damage.
  2. First Fit: Have your child try on both trainers with appropriate socks. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  3. Adjust Rip-tape: Fasten the rip-tape strap across the top of the foot. Adjust until snug and secure, but not uncomfortably tight. The stretch laces are designed to provide a flexible fit, so the rip-tape provides the primary adjustment.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for kids.
  • Fit: Features a standard width fit. If your child has particularly wide or narrow feet, monitor for comfort.
  • Activities: Best suited for casual wear, everyday activities, and light athletic play.

Care Instructions

To keep your trainers looking good and lasting longer, follow these simple care steps:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For mesh and synthetic uppers, use a soft cloth or brush with a mild soap and cold water solution. Gently scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning Soles: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud and debris.
  3. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials.
  4. Rip-tape Maintenance: Regularly check the rip-tape for lint, dirt, or threads that might reduce its effectiveness. Use a stiff brush or tweezers to gently remove debris.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
