Full details

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

These trainers feature a standard width. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check for wider fit options within the Skechers range.

Can I replace the fixed stretch laces?

The stretch laces are integrated into the design for a slip-on fit and are not designed for replacement. The intention is to slide the foot in and go.

How do I know if the machine wash will damage them?

The product description explicitly states they are machine washable. To ensure best results, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place them in a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry afterwards.

What does 'vegan' mean in this context?

Vegan means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these trainers.

What is M-Strike® technology?

M-Strike® technology is Skechers' design feature that promotes a smoother transition from the heel-strike to the toe-off phase of your stride, helping to make your gait more efficient.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for heavy rain or puddles.

What is the main difference between ULTRA LIGHT and Glide-Step®?

ULTRA LIGHT refers to the overall lightweight nature of the midsole cushioning, providing responsiveness. Glide-Step® specifically refers to the geometry and design of the midsole that helps create a smoother rolling motion with each step.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight/loose

While laces are fixed, ensure you are slipping them on correctly. If still uncomfortable, consider socks of varying thickness. For persistent issues, explore other Skechers models with adjustable laces.

Reduced cushioning over time

The ULTRA LIGHT and Glide-Step® midsoles are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and air drying can help preserve material integrity. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Discoloration after washing

Ensure you are using cold water and a mild, color-safe detergent. Washing with other dark colors could potentially cause dye transfer. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. The fixed stretch laces provide a snug fit, which can be adjusted slightly by how you slip them on. No assembly or complex setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female wearers, these trainers are suitable for various athletic activities like running, walking, and gym workouts. They are not intended for specialized sports requiring high ankle support or cleats.

Care: To maintain the trainers:

  1. Machine Washable: Place the trainers in a washing bag or pillowcase and wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
  2. Air Dry: After washing, allow the trainers to air dry completely. Do not use a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the materials.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
