FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for all types of hiking?
These sneakers are designed for outdoor trails and light to moderate hiking. For extreme or very challenging mountaineering conditions, specialized hiking boots may offer more robust ankle support and protection.
What does 'Vegan' mean in this context?
The term 'Vegan' indicates that the entire shoe, including all materials and adhesives, is made without any animal products or by-products. This means no leather, suede, wool, or animal-derived glues are used.
How do I ensure the best fit for my feet?
It's recommended to try these sneakers on with the type of socks you'd typically wear. Ensure your heel feels secure and there's adequate space (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot movement.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproof properties. Please follow the care instructions provided, which suggest hand cleaning with a mild detergent and air drying.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear® Rubber outsole?
The Goodyear® Rubber outsole provides enhanced traction, stability, and durability. It is engineered to offer superior grip on various surfaces, making the shoes more reliable in outdoor conditions and extending their lifespan.
Are these shoes breathable given they are waterproof?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole does contribute to breathability for internal comfort. However, as with most waterproof footwear, there might be a slight reduction in overall breathability compared to non-waterproof shoes in very warm and dry environments, due to the protective membrane.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel wet even though the shoes are waterproof.
First, check for any visible damage or tears in the upper material. Ensure that water isn't entering from the top of the shoe, such as over the ankle or through the tongue if the laces are too loose. Also, confirm that the wetness isn't from internal perspiration; the Air-Cooled Memory Foam helps, but active use can still generate sweat.
The outsole grip seems to be less effective than expected.
Inspect the Goodyear® Rubber outsole for any embedded debris like mud, small stones, or grime that might be reducing traction. Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the grip is still poor and the shoes are extensively worn, it might indicate significant sole wear requiring replacement.
The cushioning feels less supportive over time.
While the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is designed for lasting comfort, prolonged heavy use can compress insoles. Ensure the shoes are properly dried after use to prevent material degradation. If needed, the insoles may be replaceable; check with Skechers customer service for compatible options.

Care
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Skechers Max Protect - Fast Track sneakers:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. Dampen a cloth or sponge with this solution and gently wipe down the synthetic and mesh upper. Do not submerge the shoes in water or machine wash.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials and adhesives. For faster drying, you can stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture.
- Waterproof Maintenance: While the shoes are waterproof, regular cleaning helps maintain the integrity of the materials. Consider using a waterproof spray periodically if you notice a decrease in water repellency over time, though this product is designed with inherent waterproof features.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
