Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running or specialized athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a little room at the toe, but the heel should feel secure thanks to the Heel Pillow™. The shoe should slip on comfortably without excessive force.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are typically removable and can be hand washed separately.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off without needing to touch the shoe with your hands or use a shoehorn. The specific heel design allows you to simply step into them.
Are the stretch laces adjustable?
No, the stretch laces on this model are for aesthetic purposes and do not adjust the fit of the shoe.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash as needed when they appear dirty or to refresh them. Frequent washing is not necessary and can contribute to wear over time. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried between washes.
What is the Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® refers to the geometric midsole design that enhances comfort and promotes a smoother walking or running experience by providing responsive cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
These trainers feature decorative stretch laces and are primarily designed for slip-on ease. For a more secure fit, ensure the correct size is selected. The Heel Pillow™ aims to provide a snug heel fit.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is not folded down. With practice, the slip-in mechanism becomes easier. Ensure socks are not excessively thick.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly with prolonged use. Hand wash the insoles separately and allow them to air dry to help restore some loft. Consider replacing insoles if significant compression occurs.
Discoloration after washing
While machine washable, ensure you are using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid washing with dark or abrasive items. Always air dry away from direct sunlight.
