FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact running or strenuous athletic training.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back in the shoe.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
The stretch laces are decorative and fixed. They are designed to maintain the slip-on convenience without needing adjustment.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and offer some resistance to light moisture, but should not be submerged in water.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these shoes.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The design incorporates a special heel construction that allows you to slide your foot in without using your hands, with the Heel Pillow® helping to secure your foot comfortably.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design that provides lightweight cushioning and enhanced energy return, contributing to a comfortable walking experience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot. If still too tight, consider if the 'cozy fit' is suitable for your foot width.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel is fully down and use the designated heel tab. A slight wiggle may be needed. Avoid forcing your foot, which can damage the shoe's structure.
Insole feels flat or loses cushioning
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may need time to regain its shape. Try removing the insole and airing it out. If significant wear is apparent, consider a replacement insole.
Discoloration on upper materials
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent marks on duraleather, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for synthetic materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
