FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While offering good support for walking and light activity, these trainers are primarily designed for comfort and casual wear. For high-impact running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
Can I remove the Arch Fit® insole?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable. This allows for cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if needed.
How do the Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes are designed with a unique heel structure (Heel Pillow®) that holds the foot in place, allowing you to slide your foot in without bending or touching the shoe.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It signifies that the American Podiatric Medical Association has found the product beneficial for foot health and promoting proper foot function.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper provides breathability but is not waterproof. They are not designed for use in wet conditions.
What is the warranty on these trainers?
Please refer to the Skechers warranty policy for specific details, as warranty terms can vary. Typically, there is a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Can I wear these with orthopedic inserts?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthopedic inserts if required, though the integrated Arch Fit® system is a key feature for support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear them around the house for short periods. The engineered mesh and Arch Fit® insole will mold to your foot shape over time. Adjust the laces if needed.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being pushed down. Use the heel tab to assist. If socks are very thick, consider a thinner pair for easier slip-on.
Machine washing caused discoloration or damage
Ensure you are using cold water on a gentle cycle and air drying. Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat. Check the care label for specific instructions.
Arch support feels too intense
This is common for users new to supportive footwear. Try wearing the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. If discomfort persists, consider an alternative insole designed for flatter feet, although this may negate the Arch Fit® benefits.
