FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning for light activity, they are best suited for walking and casual wear. For marathon running, specialized, high-performance running shoes with more advanced support and cushioning are recommended.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
The laces are fixed stretch laces designed for a slip-on fit. They offer some flexibility but are not adjustable in the traditional sense.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of these trainers.
How do I wash these trainers?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry afterwards.
What is M-Strike® technology?
M-Strike® technology is designed to help promote a smoother transition from your heel strike to your toe-off, improving your walking efficiency.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometrically designed comfort sole that creates a smoother stride and provides excellent shock absorption.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
These trainers are available in adult women's UK sizes. It is generally recommended to refer to Skechers' size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
While the stretch laces offer some give, consider if the size is correct. If slightly too tight, wear them around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If significantly uncomfortable, check for alternative sizes or models.
Reduced cushioning after several uses.
Ensure the midsole is clean. If the shoes have been exposed to significant dirt or debris, a gentle wash as per care instructions may restore some of the cushioning feel.
Discoloration on the natural colorway.
For minor scuffs, try a gentle spot clean with a damp cloth. For more significant stains, machine washing is recommended. Always air dry to prevent shrinkage or damage.
