FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands Free Slip-ins®'?
They feature a unique design, including a supportive Heel Pillow®, that allows children to easily put the shoes on and take them off with their feet, without needing to bend down or use their hands.
How do I clean the Skechers Slip-ins: Bounder Pro?
It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. The insoles can often be removed and hand washed with cool water and mild soap, then air-dried.
Are these suitable for sports activities?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, including light activities. For high-impact sports, specialized athletic shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
It is a cushioned insole designed to provide comfort and support, with added ventilation to help keep feet cool and dry.
How do the stretch laces work?
The stretch laces provide a snug and secure fit without the need for tying. They offer some flexibility to accommodate different foot shapes.
What is the main benefit of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® adds extra cushioning and a comfortable fit around the heel, contributing to the overall stability and ease of slipping the shoe on.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is positioned correctly and the shoe opening is clear. Gently wiggle the foot in. If the shoes are too small, consider a larger size.
Insole feels flat or loses cushioning
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may need time to mold to the foot. If significant loss of cushioning occurs, the insole may need replacement. Ensure it's cleaned and dried properly as per care instructions.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid saturating the material. Allow to air dry completely.
Stretch laces feel too loose or too tight
The stretch laces offer a degree of flexibility. For a tighter fit, ensure the foot is fully inserted. For a looser fit, try to position the foot further back in the shoe. These laces are not designed for traditional knot-tying adjustments.
