Product Information

Full details

This guide is for active women seeking comfortable and supportive trainers for workouts and daily wear. The key benefit is the innovative comfort technology that promotes natural momentum and efficient strides, while the easy-care machine washable design offers convenience. One caveat is that the specific cushioning and offset may not be ideal for all types of high-impact activities, so it's best suited for general training and walking.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed for general fitness, walking, and light workouts. While they offer good cushioning and support, they may not provide the specialized features required for high-mileage or performance-focused marathon running.

How do I adjust the No Tie Fit bungee lacing system?

The system features a toggle or clip. Squeeze the release mechanism on the toggle and slide it up or down to adjust the tension of the laces across your foot. Release the mechanism to secure the new fit.

Can I wear these trainers without socks?

Yes, the comfortable interior and breathable mesh upper make them suitable for wearing without socks, especially for shorter durations or in warm weather. However, wearing socks is generally recommended for hygiene and to prevent potential friction.

What does an 8mm offset mean?

An 8mm offset refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe's sole. This is a moderate offset, common in many running and training shoes, providing a balance between cushioning and a natural foot position.

Are the vegan materials durable?

Yes, Skechers uses durable vegan materials that are designed to withstand regular wear and tear. The combination of mesh and hotmelt overlays provides structure and longevity.

What is the weight of these trainers?

The trainers weigh approximately 8.8oz (250g) in a women's size 6, contributing to their ultra-lightweight feel.

Can I use these for hiking?

While the outsole provides flexible traction, these trainers are primarily designed for smoother surfaces. For hiking on rugged or uneven terrain, specialized hiking boots or shoes with more aggressive tread and ankle support would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose.

Adjust the bungee lacing system. Gently pull the toggles to tighten or loosen the laces for a custom fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.

Shoe squeaks during walking.

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the outsole. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, it may be a natural characteristic of the materials.

Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.

The ULTRA LIGHT and Soft Stride cushioning may naturally compress over time. For extended use, consider if the shoes still meet your comfort needs for the intended activity.

White material appears stained after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a cold water gentle cycle. Avoid washing with dark or colored items. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a gentle fabric stain remover suitable for athletic shoes before washing.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • The 8mm offset might not be suitable for runners accustomed to zero-drop shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The No Tie Fit bungee lacing system is pre-set but can be adjusted slightly for a more personalized fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for women's adult foot sizes. The design is versatile for various activities such as walking, light jogging, gym workouts, and casual wear. They are best paired with athletic or casual attire.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers trainers:

  1. Machine Washable: Place trainers in a washing machine bag or pillowcase. Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
  2. Air Dry: DO NOT place trainers in the dryer. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks between washes, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  4. Laces: The bungee laces do not require removal for washing, but ensure they are not tangled.
