FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and walking. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping. Given the tied-off laces, the fit should be snug but not constricting.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the specific cushioning technology within the shoe.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design means that the shoes are made without using any animal products or by-products in their construction.
How is the traction on different surfaces?
The geometric outsole provides decent traction for everyday surfaces like pavements, tiles, and light trails. However, performance on very wet or slippery surfaces may vary.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a uniquely designed geometric shape that aids in smoother transitions from heel to toe and provides excellent shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
You can typically remove the insole and hand wash it using cool water and mild soap. Ensure it is air dried completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
While the laces are tied-off, the stretch nature of the mesh and insole should provide a adaptable fit. If the fit is significantly off, consider if this is the correct size. For minor tightness, wearing them for a short period may help them stretch slightly.
Discomfort after wearing for a short period.
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, it may be due to individual foot shape or the specific demands of your activity. These shoes are optimized for casual wear and light activity, not high-impact sports.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean the mesh with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
Insole feels less cushioned over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may naturally compress with extended use. Try removing the insole and hand washing it with cool water and mild soap, then air drying it thoroughly. This can sometimes help restore some of its original feel.
