FAQs
Can I run long distances in these?
These are ideal for short to mid-distance running and daily wear. For marathon distances, you may prefer a shoe with more rigid support.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the shoes are designed for hands-free use. Once you set the lace tension to your preference, you can simply slip them on and off.
Are they machine washable?
While some Skechers models are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean these to preserve the life of the Heel Pillow and midsole materials.
What is M-Strike technology?
It is a design feature that promotes an efficient midfoot strike, helping to ensure each step is smooth and encourages a faster transition.
Is the heel pillow durable?
Yes, the Heel Pillow is constructed from resilient materials designed to hold its shape over extensive wear.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Adjust the laces slightly tighter to ensure the Heel Pillow sits securely against your foot.
Upper mesh looks dirty
Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild soap; air dry away from direct sunlight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely easy to put on and take off
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue
- Highly breathable upper material

- Smooth transition provided by the Glide-Step geometry
Cons
- Not intended for extreme stability control
- Slip-on nature may feel too loose for narrow-footed users
- Mesh material can be prone to debris entry
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are Hands Free Slip-ins, they are designed to fit snugly around the heel area; ensure you step in firmly to engage the Heel Pillow. While the shoes feature adjustable laces, they are primarily designed for a slip-on fit, so adjust the laces to your desired tension once and leave them tied. To maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh upper, clean them with a soft brush to remove loose dirt and use mild detergent with cool water if spot cleaning is required. Avoid putting them in high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foams and structural adhesives.
