FAQs
Are these shoes truly slip-on without any laces?
Yes, this specific model features Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology with an integrated Heel Pillow® that allows you to slide your foot in without bending or using your hands.
How do I clean my Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step trainers?
These trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry them completely and do not use a machine dryer.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking and light activities, they are primarily designed for comfort and support in everyday wear. For serious running, dedicated running shoes with specific support features might be more appropriate.

The Max Cushioning platform incorporates enhanced shock absorption and energy return through specific foam compounds and platform design, aiming to provide superior comfort for extended wear.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® design?
The Glide-Step® geometric sole design is engineered to provide a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, contributing to a more fluid and efficient stride.
Are these shoes vegan?

What is the difference between the Skechers Max Cushioning and other Skechers models?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or lack secure fit.
While designed for slip-on convenience, ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is still loose, consider wearing slightly thicker socks. For very active movements, traditional lace-up shoes might offer a more secure fit.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly aligned. Try a slight twist of the ankle as you slide your foot forward. If resistance continues, the shoe might be too small or your foot shape may not be compatible with the slip-in entry.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The ULTRA GO® and Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ cushioning are designed for durability. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, ensure the insoles are clean and dry. Persistent issues may indicate the cushioning has reached the end of its lifespan.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The Goodyear® Rubber Outsole provides enhanced traction, but performance can vary on wet or highly polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris. For extremely slick conditions, caution is advised.
