FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Skechers Meroe - Alden shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for casual wear and offer good traction on wet surfaces, but should not be submerged in water.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash or spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap.

How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?

The insole can often be removed. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.

What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?

Relaxed Fit® means the shoe offers a roomier fit in the toe and forefoot area compared to a standard fit, providing extra comfort without compromising the secure feel of the shoe.

How does the Heel Pillow™ work?

The Heel Pillow™ is a design feature that cradles your heel, helping to hold your foot securely in place within the shoe for enhanced comfort and stability.

Are the laces adjustable?

No, the shoes feature fixed stretch laces, contributing to the slip-on design. They are not meant for adjustment.

What is the benefit of the Goodyear® rubber outsole?

The Goodyear® rubber outsole provides enhanced durability and significantly improved traction, performing well on both wet and dry surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially.

Allow a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. The Relaxed Fit® design and Memory Foam should adapt to your foot shape over time.

Heel slips slightly.

Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is properly engaging your heel. Check if the shoe size is correct; a size too large can cause heel slippage. Fixed laces cannot be adjusted.

Difficulty slipping foot in.

Ensure you are using the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature correctly by pushing your heel fully back. The Heel Pillow™ is designed to hold the foot, so some initial resistance is normal.

Insole feels flat after some use.

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is designed to mold to your foot. If significant cushioning loss occurs, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket one, though this may affect the fit.
