FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Max Cushioning platform provides excellent shock absorption, these trainers are primarily designed for walking, daily wear, and light training. For dedicated running, a shoe specifically engineered for running mechanics would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap and water solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
Can I remove the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable. You can hand wash it separately with cool water and mild soap, then let it air dry completely.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® design?
The Glide-Step® geometric design in the sole helps to create a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, promoting a more fluid and comfortable walking experience.
How does the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature work?
The shoes feature a cushioned Heel Pillow™ that holds your foot securely in place, allowing you to easily slip the shoes on and off without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Is the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole suitable for all surfaces?
The Goodyear® Rubber Outsole is designed for high-traction and durability, providing reliable grip on a variety of surfaces. However, always exercise caution on wet or slippery conditions.
What is the primary advantage of the ULTRA GO® cushioning?
ULTRA GO® cushioning is a lightweight yet highly responsive foam that provides excellent shock absorption and energy return, contributing to a comfortable and energetic stride.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose after initial wear.
Adjust the laces to achieve a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider if the width is suitable for your foot type. The slip-in feature is designed for ease, not primary adjustment.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry, as moisture can affect performance. For significant degradation, consider replacement.
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing and reinserting the insole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe. The Heel Pillow™ is designed to hold your heel securely, which might initially feel snug. Try wearing them with thinner socks until they break in slightly.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains on the engineered mesh, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Clean the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes. Avoid machine washing or using dryers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
