FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the Skechers Escape Plan shoes are designed for hiking and feature cushioned insoles and supportive construction, making them suitable for longer treks.
How do I clean the leather and mesh upper?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For dirtier areas, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a damp cloth. Always allow them to air dry.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The shoes have a water-repellent upper, offering protection against light rain or damp conditions. They are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged heavy rain.
What kind of socks are best with these hiking shoes?
Moisture-wicking hiking socks made from wool or synthetic blends are recommended to keep your feet dry and comfortable, especially on longer hikes.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing for cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics.
What is the primary advantage of the outsole?
The flexible rubber high traction all-terrain outsole provides excellent grip and stability on a variety of outdoor surfaces, reducing the risk of slips.
Are these shoes good for everyday casual wear?
While comfortable, their design is optimized for trail hiking. For purely casual urban wear, you might find lighter, less rugged options more suitable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the materials to break in. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may also mold to your foot over time.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for traction, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges.
Water seeping through the upper
The 'water-repellent' feature helps against light moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion, water may still penetrate. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment if necessary.
Insole feels uncomfortable or flat
Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket orthotic designed for hiking shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult males. Compatible with various outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and casual trail exploration. Not recommended for specialized sports.
Care: To maintain the shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe away dirt and debris with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains on leather or synthetic parts, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as they can damage the materials.
- Outsole Maintenance: Check the rubber outsole for embedded stones or debris and remove them. This ensures optimal traction.
