Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Street™ Hands Free Slip-ins®: UNO - Banksia Luxe trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of sporty style and convenient comfort for casual wear. Their key benefit lies in the hands-free slip-in design, facilitated by the Heel Pillow®, making them exceptionally easy to put on and take off. A potential caveat is that while they are made of duraleather, they may require specific care to maintain their appearance and material integrity over time. Key features include the hands-free entry, a visible Skech-Air® airbag midsole for cushioning, and a breathable Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole.

FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands-Free'?
They are designed with Skechers' Slip-ins® technology, featuring a supportive Heel Pillow® that holds your foot comfortably, allowing you to slide them on and off without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can typically be removed. It is best to hand wash it with mild soap and water and allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Can the stretch laces be adjusted?
The laces are fixed stretch laces designed to provide a snug fit without the need for tying. They are not adjustable in the traditional sense.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper is made from duraleather with perforated details.
Are there other color or size options available?
Yes, the UNO - Banksia Luxe series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
How durable is the duraleather material?
Duraleather is designed for reasonable durability for casual wear. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help maintain its appearance and prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are fixed, the Heel Pillow® and cushioned insole adapt to the foot. If a shoe consistently feels uncomfortable, ensure the correct size was selected. For minor tightness, wearing them for a few hours may help break them in.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is fully back against the Heel Pillow®. If the shoe is new, it might be slightly stiffer. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle, ensuring the back collar stays open.
Squeaking sound
A squeaking sound can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or within the midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both the insole and the shoe's interior, and ensuring the insole is completely dry before reinserting.
Material scuffs or marks easily
For minor scuffs on the duraleather, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For persistent marks, consider using a product designed to cover or repair leather blemishes.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the duraleather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the material.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. A soft brush can be used for textured areas.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight to prevent material damage.
