FAQs
Are these shoes truly hands-free?
Yes, they feature Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, allowing you to slide your foot in without using your hands. However, they also include adjustable laces for a more personalized fit if desired.
What makes the cushioning 'Max Cushioning'?
The Max Cushioning® midsole is engineered to provide an enhanced level of shock absorption and responsive cushioning, offering a plush and comfortable feel with every step.
How does the Glide-Step® technology benefit my walk?
Glide-Step® technology creates a smoother transition from heel impact to toe-off, promoting a more efficient and comfortable walking motion.
Can I wear these for running or high-impact sports?
These trainers are best suited for walking, light jogging, and everyday activities. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact sports like sprinting or court games.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Wipe the engineered mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the advantage of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed to offer superior traction, enhanced stability, and increased durability, providing reliable grip on various surfaces.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles are removable and can be cleaned separately. They can also be replaced with other compatible insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose despite being slip-on.
Tighten the adjustable laces for a more secure fit. Ensure your heel is properly seated in the Heel Pillow®.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
The cushioning technology is designed for longevity, but wear and tear can occur. Consider cleaning the insoles and ensuring they are properly seated. For significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not obstructed. If the shoe is new, the material may be stiff; try wearing them with thinner socks initially or gently flexing the shoe before putting it on.
Squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of powder inside the shoe *might* help, but use sparingly.

These shoes are designed for immediate use. Simply slip them on. If a more secure fit is desired, adjust the laces as you would with traditional athletic shoes.
