Kids’ Skechers with Memory Foam – Choose the Most Supportive Style for Your Kid

Has your child been asking you for a pair of shoes with memory foam? One of the most popular shoe companies that manufacture shoes with memory foam is Skechers. They have around 20 different styles of memory foam shoes available for children. However, among those 20 different shoe styles, there are only 3 or 4 styles that have enough support to be worn as everyday shoes. I have put together a list of the best kids’ Skechers with memory foam based on my many years of shoe fitting experience.

Why Choose Memory Foam Skechers Shoes for Kids?

Memory foam is a revolutionary material that conforms to the shape of the foot, providing personalized cushioning and support.

✅ They promote an even distribution of balance.

✅ They ease the pressure on the ball of your kids’ feet when they are running.

✅ They feel soft and form to your kids’ feet.

✅ They provide instant comfort.

I mentioned the benefits of memory foam shoes for kids, but before you go ahead and choose a pair for your child, you must also know the disadvantages of getting these types of shoes.

❌ Unpleasant smell because the shoe retains heat.

❌ They will make your kids’ feet sweat more.

Is It Safe for Children to Wear Memory Foam Sneakers?

With the high rise in the demand for memory foam sneakers for children, we must answer this important question: Can children wear their memory foam sneakers for their everyday activities? Certain shoes with memory foam do provide support and comfort for everyday wear. Many children love how soft these shoes feel and how they mold to the child’s foot shape. So, as long as your child is not dealing with a specific foot condition such as, flat feet for example, your child can definitely wear these shoes.

If you are trying to avoid smelly shoes, you should stay away from shoes that come with memory foam. They will get smelly, and even though they can be machine washed, you will have to constantly wash the shoes to completely get rid of the smell.

I have noticed that girls are more attracted to memory foam shoes than boys. I think that boys are more interested in light up shoes. While girls love sparkly shoes, they also love the comfort that memory foam provides. Remember that getting a pair of memory foam shoes for your child is okay, as long as you choose from their most supportive styles.

The Best Kids’ Skechers with Memory Foam

These are the better-made and most durable memory foam shoe shoes made by the company Skechers that can fit children with medium or wide feet.

Do Skechers Memory Foam Sneakers Lose Shape Over Time?

A common concern among parents is whether memory foam sneakers lose their shape over time. While memory foam may compress slightly with extended wear, Skechers designs their shoes to maintain durability and comfort. Regularly replacing shoes as your child grows will ensure optimal support.

Are Memory Foam Insoles Suitable for All Foot Types?

Memory foam is generally suitable for most foot types, but it’s essential to consider any specific foot conditions your child may have. If your child has a “complicated” foot shape such as extra wide feet, I suggest looking into a different shoe brand. In addition, if your child has a foot condition such as flat feet there are other shoes that will help provide better support and stability.

Can You Machine Wash Skechers Memory Foam Shoes?

You can throw them in the washing machine, as long as they are not light-up memory foam shoes. The majority of non-leather casual shoes can be safely put in the washing machine on the gentle cycle and air-dried. Never put your kids’ shoes in the dryer!

Let your kids’ shoes air dry for at least 6 hours to ensure that the insoles of the shoes are fully dry. Take care of the original insoles in your kids’ shoes with memory foam because you won’t be able to replace them – they are not sold separately.

Can You Fit an Orthotic Inside a Shoe That Has Memory Foam?

Yes, you can. However, I don’t recommend that children wear Skechers if they wear orthotics. Even though some of their shoes are more supportive than others, I believe there are plenty of other better shoe choices for a child who wears orthotics. If you have a child who wears orthotics or needs an orthotic to be fitted inside the shoes, there is an article I wrote that describes the best shoes for orthotics.

 Memory Foam Shoes That Mom Will Love Too!

Did you know that you can end up saving a lot of money and time by purchasing the kids’ version of the shoes instead of the adult version of the shoes? As long as wear a women’s shoe size 8 1/2 or smaller, you will be able to fit in the kids’ version of the shoes! For example, a women’s shoe size 7, translates to a kids’ shoe size 5 1/2. I wrote a post where I explain how this shoe size conversion works in more detail.

Skechers make great slip-on shoes for older girls, and you might be able to fit in these shoes as well. These are great slip-on sneakers that can be worn to any informal place. Kids tend to love these types of shoes because they are easy to put on and take off, and they are extremely comfortable.
