FAQs
How do Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
They feature a unique heel design with a 'Heel Pillow™' that cradles your foot and a supportive structure, allowing you to slide your foot in effortlessly without needing to bend or use your hands.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact activities like running or specialized training.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and the slip-in mechanism.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, fluid transition from heel to toe with each step, enhancing comfort and reducing impact during walking.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can typically be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. It's important to allow it to air dry completely before wearing the shoes again.
What does 'fixed stretch-laced front' mean?
This means the laces are elasticated and pre-tied or integrated into the design, contributing to the slip-on nature of the shoe without requiring manual adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the stretch laces are fixed, the fit can be influenced by sock thickness. Try adjusting sock thickness for a better feel. If the Heel Pillow™ feels too pronounced, ensure your foot is fully seated in the shoe.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow™ opening. Sometimes a slight twist or angle can help. Wearing thinner socks may also ease the process.
Insole not feeling cushioned
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may take a short period to conform to your foot's shape. If discomfort persists after several wears, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe type is appropriate for your activity level.
Mesh upper feels flimsy
The engineered mesh is designed for breathability and lightness. For activities requiring more robust protection or support, consider a different type of footwear.
