FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the Max Cushioning and Glide-Step technologies offer excellent comfort and support for general activities and light training, they are not specifically designed as performance racing shoes for marathons. For such events, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I best use the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?
Simply place your foot into the shoe, using the molded heel counter. The design of the shoe, combined with the Heel Pillow®, allows your foot to slide in effortlessly without bending down or using your hands.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics. Please check the specific product to confirm insole removability.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® is engineered to provide a smoother transition from heel to toe with each step, which can reduce fatigue and enhance walking efficiency, making the motion feel more fluid.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature breathable materials for comfort, which means they are not resistant to water ingress.
What does 'monomesh upper' mean?
A monomesh upper is constructed from a single layer of lightweight, breathable mesh material. The 3D print on this variant adds structure and style while maintaining breathability.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing should be done sparingly to prolong the life of the shoe. Wash them only when they appear visibly dirty or start to smell, following the recommended cold water, gentle cycle, and air-dry method.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after slipping them on
Adjust the laces to tighten the fit around the foot. Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly aligned for optimal support.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning materials may compress with extensive use. Consider cleaning the insoles or exploring replacement options if the issue persists significantly.
Difficulty slipping shoes on initially
The Heel Pillow® might be stiff at first. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in, or gently flex the heel area before putting them on.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Goodyear® Performance Outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for good grip, extreme wet conditions can affect any outsole's performance.
