FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for everyday wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as trainers for comfort and casual use, not for high-impact, long-distance running.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers. Hand wash with mild soap and water and air dry them away from direct heat.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can often be removed. Hand wash it with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
What makes the Glide-Step® design beneficial?
The Glide-Step® geometric design is engineered into the outsole to help promote a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with every step, enhancing walking efficiency and comfort.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are water-resistant to a degree due to their materials, but they are not fully waterproof. The engineered mesh upper will allow water to penetrate over time.
How does the 'Heel Pillow™' feature work?
The Heel Pillow™ is a soft cushioning element inside the shoe that cradles the heel, providing added comfort and helping to secure the foot in place for a better fit.
What is the primary advantage of the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?
The primary advantage is the convenience of putting on and taking off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands, making them extremely practical for everyday use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but for significant fit issues, consider trying a different size or width if available. The Heel Pillow™ may require a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. For significant loss of cushioning, the shoe may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Traction issues on slippery surfaces.
While equipped with a Goodyear® Rubber Outsole, performance can be affected by wear and tear or contaminants. Clean the outsole regularly. For extremely slippery conditions, exercise caution as no outsole guarantees slip-proof performance.
Difficulty slipping feet in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is not obstructed. Try sliding your foot in smoothly rather than forcing it. Wearing thinner socks may also help. The slip-in feature often becomes easier with use.
