FAQs
Are these Skechers shoes waterproof?
The Skechers RESPECECTED-ELGIN features a leather upper, which is not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for wet conditions. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or puddles.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, these shoes are not machine washable. The leather upper and construction can be damaged by machine washing. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?
Relaxed Fit® provides a roomier, more comfortable fit, especially in the toe and forefoot area. This design offers a spacious feel without compromising support, ideal for those who prefer extra room or have wider feet.
What is the benefit of a Goodyear® Rubber Outsole?
The Goodyear® Rubber Outsole offers enhanced traction, improved stability, and exceptional durability. It's designed to provide a reliable grip on various surfaces and withstand everyday wear and tear.
How do the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' work?
The Hands Free Slip-ins® technology features a patented molded heel panel that allows you to effortlessly step into your shoes without bending down or using your hands. The heel securely molds to your foot for a comfortable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The Skechers RESPECECTED-ELGIN is designed as a casual trainer for everyday wear and light activities. It is not engineered for high-impact sports, running, or specialized athletic training.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
These shoes feature a flat heel, which is under 2.5cm. They provide a low-profile feel for comfortable, casual wear.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, while this guide focuses on the black variant, the Skechers Respected - Elgin style is also available in other colors such as brown.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or roomy.
The 'Relaxed Fit®' design inherently provides a more spacious feel. If you prefer a snugger fit, ensure you have the correct size. For some, adding a thin insole might help, but generally, this style is meant to be roomy.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish. This will restore moisture and shine, protecting the material.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Inspect the outsole for any embedded debris. If the squeak persists, sometimes it can be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath it.
Difficulty with hands-free slip-in.
Ensure your foot is positioned correctly, aiming for the TOUCHLESS FIT® molded heel panel. A slight forward lean can help guide your foot smoothly into place without resistance. Over time, the heel panel will conform to your foot.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
While the lining is textile, wearing moisture-wicking socks can significantly improve breathability and comfort. Ensure shoes are allowed to air out between wears.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers RESPECECTED-ELGIN shoes:
- Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
- Textile Lining: For any stains on the textile lining, gently spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. Blot dry with a clean cloth.
- Rubber Sole: The Goodyear® Rubber Outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove mud or grime. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
- General: Do not machine wash or tumble dry these shoes, as it can damage the leather and structural components. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
