FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they can handle light rain and wet grass, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep puddles.
Can I use these for heavy mountain hiking?
These are best suited for light trails, walking, and casual outdoor use. For steep, technical, or rocky terrain, a dedicated mountaineering boot is recommended.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for smooth or treated leather.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are generally removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Do they fit true to size?
The Skechers Escape Plan series generally fits true to UK sizing, but if you intend to wear thick wool hiking socks, consider testing for a half-size adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened; adjust the lacing to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Loss of water-repellency over time
Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather water-proofing spray designed for outdoor footwear.
Insole feels too soft or loses shape
Remove the insole after heavy use to let it air out completely; replace with an aftermarket orthotic insole if higher arch support is needed.
Pros and Cons

- Durable leather construction suitable for light trails

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: These trainers feature a standard lace-up system; ensure you tighten from the bottom eyelets upward to achieve a consistent fit across the bridge of the foot.
- Compatibility: The neutral design makes them compatible with most casual outdoor attire, such as cargo trousers, jeans, or synthetic hiking shorts.
- Care: To maintain the leather's water-repellency, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth after use on muddy trails. Allow them to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack over time. Periodic application of a leather-specific protector spray can help refresh the water-resistant coating.
