FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

The Skechers AERO Spark Trainers feature advanced cushioning and a carbon-infused plate designed to enhance performance and energy return, making them suitable for many types of running, including marathons. However, individual comfort and needs vary. It's recommended to test them on shorter runs first to ensure they meet your personal requirements for long-distance running.

How do I know if the Arch Fit system is right for me?

The Arch Fit system is designed for enhanced comfort and support, particularly for those who experience foot fatigue or discomfort due to lack of arch support. If you have neutral to slightly high arches, or simply prefer a more supportive feel during athletic activities, the Arch Fit system can be beneficial.

Can I replace the Arch Fit insoles with my own orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for a personalized fit and feel.

How often should I wash my trainers?

It is recommended to wash your trainers as needed, typically after periods of heavy use or when they appear visibly dirty or smelly. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials, so focus on cleaning them when necessary.

What is the difference between HYPER BURST cushioning and standard foam?

HYPER BURST is a proprietary cushioning technology that uses a 'supercritical foaming process' to create cells with a very fine, uniform structure. This results in a cushioning that is exceptionally lightweight, highly responsive, and durable compared to traditional EVA foams.

Will these trainers provide good grip on trails?

The Goodyear Performance Outsole is designed for enhanced grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. While it performs well on many training grounds, for significant off-road trail running with loose gravel or mud, specialized trail running shoes with deeper lugs might offer superior traction.

What size UK should I order if I'm a US size 7?

Typically, a US women's size 7 corresponds to a UK women's size 5. However, sizing can vary slightly between brands and models. Please refer to the Skechers size chart for the most accurate conversion, or consider trying them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The engineered mesh upper will conform to your foot shape over time. If still uncomfortable, consider removing the insoles or trying a half-size larger.

Reduced cushioning after prolonged use

The HYPER BURST cushioning is designed for longevity, but like all cushioning, it will gradually compress. Ensure you are following care instructions to maintain material integrity. If significant degradation occurs within the warranty period, contact customer support.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

While the Goodyear Performance Outsole provides excellent grip, all outsoles can have reduced traction on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris for optimal performance.

Machine washing results in material damage

Always wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Ensure shoes are turned inside out and do not overload the washing machine. Avoid high heat drying. If damage occurs, it may be due to improper washing; subsequent washes should follow recommended guidelines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. The removable insoles allow for personalization if needed.

Compatibility:

The Skechers AERO Spark Trainers are designed for a variety of athletic activities. Their Goodyear Performance Outsole offers compatibility with most indoor and outdoor training surfaces, including treadmills, tracks, roads, and gym floors.

Care:

  1. Machine Washable: For best results, wash inside out with cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
  2. Air Dry: After washing, allow the trainers to air dry completely. Do not place them in a dryer or use direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Insoles: Remove insoles before washing to ensure thorough cleaning and faster drying. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  4. Cleaning Stains: For minor stains, a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap can be used for spot cleaning.
