FAQs
Are the Skechers Summits suitable for running marathons?
The Skechers Summits are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they can be used for light jogging or training, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for long-distance running like marathons.
How long does the Memory Foam cushioning last?
The durability of Memory Foam cushioning can vary depending on usage. With regular wear and proper care (including machine washing and air drying), the cushioning should remain effective for a significant period. However, like all foam, it may gradually compress over extensive use.
Can I replace the bungee laces with traditional laces?
While not officially supported, some users may be able to carefully remove the bungee laces and thread traditional shoelaces through the eyelets if desired. However, this may alter the intended slip-on fit and look of the shoe.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The mesh upper offers some flexibility, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes. If you have very wide feet, you may find them restrictive.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended only when necessary to maintain freshness and hygiene. Over-washing can potentially affect the materials and cushioning. Typically, washing them a few times a year or when visibly dirty should suffice.
What is the primary benefit of the bungee-laced front?
The bungee-laced front provides a secure, slip-on fit that is easy to adjust without traditional tying, making them convenient for quick wear and removal.
Can these trainers be worn in hot weather?
Yes, the soft flat mesh knit upper is designed for breathability, making them comfortable to wear in warm weather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Memory Foam insole will mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially, or remove the insole temporarily if possible to stretch the shoe slightly.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the bungee laces are slightly loosened. You can also try using a shoehorn. Over time, the collar may stretch slightly for easier access.
Reduced cushioning after washing
Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried. If the cushioning feels less responsive, try wearing them for a while as the Memory Foam should regain its shape.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction on dry and moderately wet surfaces. For very wet or slick conditions, exercise caution as the grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Care: To maintain your Skechers Summits:
- Machine Washable: Place shoes in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase and wash with mild detergent on a gentle cycle using cold water.
- Air Dry: After washing, allow the shoes to air dry completely. Do not use a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Upper: For minor dirt, wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Insole Care: If the Memory Foam insole needs cleaning, it can often be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried separately.
