Product Information

Full details

For adult women seeking a blend of classic court style and everyday comfort, the Skechers Academy HI - Elevated Essence trainers offer a stylish, elevated look. Their key benefit lies in the combination of a genuine pigskin suede upper, metallic detailing, and signature Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole for superior cushioning. A potential caveat is their platform sole, which may require a brief adjustment period for those unaccustomed to added height.

FAQs

What makes the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole special?

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides enhanced cushioning and breathability, designed to mold to your foot for personalized comfort and help keep your feet cool.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers, typically based on UK, US, or EU shoe sizing. These trainers are available in women's UK sizes.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While they offer some protection, the genuine pigskin suede upper is best kept dry. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a suede protector spray for added water resistance.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not specialized for high-impact athletic activities but are suitable for walking and everyday movement.

What is the primary material used in these trainers?

The trainers feature a genuine pigskin suede upper, complemented by leather and synthetic materials for durability and structure. The insole is made with Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam®.

How do I maintain the metallic details?

Wipe the metallic S-heart and mustache details gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

Insole feels uncomfortable or loses cushioning

Ensure the insole is properly seated. If cushioning has diminished, consider replacing the insole, as it is designed to be replaceable.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure the laces are fully loosened before putting on the shoes. Wear with appropriate thickness socks. If still tight after initial wear, the leather may need a short break-in period.

Discoloration on suede from moisture

Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Use a suede cleaner or eraser to attempt to lift the stain. Protect suede with a waterproofing spray before wear in damp conditions.
