Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, because these shoes feature leather uppers, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the material and structural components.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, the Skechers Respected - Elgin is designed as a hands-free slip-on, meaning the laces are decorative and fixed.
Are these suitable for long periods of walking?
Yes, the comfort arch insole and Goodyear rubber outsole are specifically designed for stability and support during extended wear.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear Rubber outsole?
The Goodyear Rubber provides enhanced grip, traction, and durability compared to standard foam or rubber outsoles.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While durable, the leather is not marketed as waterproof. It is advisable to use a leather protector spray if you plan on wearing them in light rain.
Does the size 8.5 fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but the moc toe design provides a slightly roomier feel than performance athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure you are stepping firmly into the heel area; the Heel Pillow is designed to compress slightly, so a firm push will engage the fit.
Heel feels loose while walking.
Ensure the shoe is the correct size. If it persists, try wearing slightly thicker socks to improve the connection with the Heel Pillow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the TOUCHLESS FIT technology, these shoes do not require any setup or lacing adjustments; simply step into the heel cup to engage the fit. To maintain the leather upper, it is recommended to wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. For the leather, applying a quality leather conditioner every few months will prevent cracking and maintain the material's flexibility. Store your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning and the Heel Pillow.
