FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify width options. These trainers are designed with a standard fit, and the fixed stretch laces offer some flexibility. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult Skechers sizing guides for more detail.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

For the mesh upper, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected areas. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

What does 'vegan' mean in this context?

The 'vegan' designation means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.

How does M-Strike® technology benefit my run?

M-Strike® technology is designed to promote a smoother transition from foot strike to toe-off, helping to make your running gait more efficient and potentially reducing impact.

What is the primary purpose of the Glide-Step® midsole?

The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a smooth, fluid ride with responsive cushioning, enhancing overall comfort and performance during runs.

Can I replace the insoles?

While the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is integrated for comfort, the product information doesn't explicitly state if it's removable for replacement. Typically, Skechers insoles are designed to be relatively easy to remove if needed.

Are these trainers good for cross-training?

These trainers are specifically designed for running. While they offer good cushioning and comfort, they may not provide the lateral support needed for intensive cross-training activities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

While the laces are fixed, ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The design aims for a snug but comfortable fit. If issues persist, consider the shoe's intended fit for running.

Reduced cushioning after several uses

The cushioning is designed for durability, but prolonged heavy use may naturally reduce its responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., heavy gym training).

Discomfort during runs

Ensure the shoes are broken in properly. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe size and width are appropriate for your foot. The M-Strike® technology might require a slight adjustment period for your gait.
