The Skechers Bounder Slip-ins are engineered for the active child who values both comfort and independence. Their primary strength lies in the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, which means kids can quickly put on their shoes without needing help from an adult or struggling with laces. This is ideal for school mornings, after-school activities, or simply heading out to play.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides excellent cushioning for all-day wear, whether running in the playground or walking to class. The mesh upper ensures breathability, preventing feet from overheating during warmer days. The Heel Pillow™ adds a layer of security, making sure the shoe stays comfortably in place without rubbing or slipping.
For parents, the machine washable feature is a significant advantage. Spills, mud, or general wear and tear are easily dealt with, ensuring the shoes remain fresh and presentable. The stretch laces offer a consistent, snug fit that doesn't need constant re-tying, reducing interruptions during play. These shoes are best suited for:
Daily school wear
Casual outings and playdates
Quick changes for after-school activities
Travel, where ease of putting on/taking off shoes is beneficial
Using your Skechers Bounder Slip-ins is as simple as it sounds – just slip them on! The Hands Free Slip-ins® design and TOUCHLESS FIT® technology mean your child can step right in without bending over or using their hands. Guide your child to:
Hold the back of the shoe with one foot to create leverage.
Slide their foot into the shoe, allowing the Heel Pillow™ to guide their heel into place.
Ensure their foot is comfortably seated. The stretch laces will provide a secure fit.
These shoes are designed specifically for kids (age group: kids, gender: Male as per product attributes, though generally suitable for all active children). They are available in various UK children's sizes (e.g., Size 12, 11, 9, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) within the Bounder series. The Polyester material makes them lightweight and suitable for everyday activities.
One of the most convenient features of the Skechers Bounder Slip-ins is their machine washable nature. Follow these steps to clean your shoes:
Remove any excess dirt or mud with a soft brush or cloth.
Place the shoes in a laundry bag or pillowcase to protect them.
Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
Use a mild detergent.
Air dry only. Do not place them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Always check the label inside the shoe for specific washing instructions if available.
