FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and walking. While they offer good cushioning and support, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact activities like running.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can usually be removed. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely before placing it back in the shoe. Do not machine wash or use high heat to dry.
Can I adjust the laces?
No, the laces on this model are decorative stretch laces and are not designed to be adjusted for fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. They are made from air-quilted fabric and duraleather, which offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can slip the shoes on and off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands to assist, thanks to a specially designed heel structure.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and gentle hand washing of removable insoles is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® geometric midsole is designed to provide a smoother transition from heel to toe with each step, enhancing comfort and reducing impact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole will adapt over time.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the heel is fully positioned within the Heel Pillow®. Gently pull the back collar if needed. The slip-in mechanism is designed to work best when the foot is angled correctly.
Laces appear loose or uneven.
The stretch laces are decorative and non-functional. They are designed to provide a snug fit without adjustment. If they appear significantly askew, they may need to be re-secured by a cobbler, but this is generally not necessary for function.
Insole feels less cushioned after some use.
The memory foam may compress slightly over time. Ensure the insole is clean and dry, as moisture can affect its properties. For persistent issues, consider a replacement insole.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the duraleather and fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
