Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step® Flow Trainers are designed for active kids who need comfortable and durable footwear for everyday play. Their key benefit is the combination of lightweight cushioning and an adaptive fit for easy wear. A potential consideration is that while machine washable, they may require air drying to maintain their shape. These trainers feature a breathable mesh and synthetic upper, fixed stretch laces with an adjustable instep strap for a secure fit, and a unique Glide-Step® midsole for smooth transitions with every step.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The adaptive closure system with an adjustable instep strap allows for some flexibility in fit. However, the overall width is based on standard sizing. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed for durability. With regular use and proper care, the cushioning should provide comfort for an extended period, though performance may gradually decrease with significant wear.
Can these trainers be worn for specific sports like basketball?
These trainers are designed for general athletic and play activities. For specialized sports requiring specific ankle support or grip, dedicated sports shoes are recommended.
What is the best way to ensure they dry properly after washing?
After washing, gently pat them with a towel to remove excess water. Then, leave them to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does 'adaptive closure' mean?
Adaptive closure refers to the design that makes it easy to get the shoe on and off, typically involving features like stretch laces and adjustable straps, allowing for a customized fit without traditional laces.
Are these trainers suitable for very young children who are just learning to walk?
While they offer good comfort and support, very young children learning to walk might benefit from shoes specifically designed for early walkers, which often have even more flexibility and a different type of sole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop instep strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the fixed stretch laces are properly positioned.
Slight odor after wear
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Tread wear on outsole
Normal wear and tear is expected with active use. If excessive, check for any objects stuck in the tread.
Waterproofing concerns
These trainers are not waterproof but are machine washable. For wet conditions, consider a water-resistant shoe.
