FAQs
Are these shoes actually vegan?
Yes, the Flex Appeal 5.0 is made using 100% vegan-friendly materials, meaning no animal products were used in their construction.
Can I put these in the dryer after washing?
No, you should never put your Skechers in a tumble dryer. High heat can warp the sole and degrade the memory foam cushioning.
Do these provide good arch support?
They offer standard, comfortable arch support for everyday wear. If you have specific podiatric needs, you may consider replacing the insole with a custom orthotic.
Are they suitable for running?
These are lifestyle and walking shoes. While comfortable, they do not have the specialized impact protection required for long-distance running.
What does 'Air-Cooled' mean?
It refers to the specific memory foam insole designed with perforations and high-breathability materials to help dissipate heat from your feet.
How often can I machine wash them?
While they are machine washable, it is best to spot-clean them when possible to preserve the material's lifespan over several years.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels slightly damp after a wash
Ensure you air dry the shoes for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated area before your next use.
Dirt stuck in the mesh weave
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the affected area with warm soapy water after the initial wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for an immediate, 'out-of-the-box' comfortable fit and require no special break-in period. For size compatibility, the UK 5.5 is a standard fit, but remember that mesh materials have a slight amount of 'give' over time.
Care Instructions:
- Remove any excess loose dirt from the outsole using a soft brush.
- Place the sneakers in a protective laundry bag to prevent unnecessary abrasion.
- Wash on a gentle, cold cycle with a mild detergent.
- Air dry only; do not use a tumble dryer as heat can damage the memory foam and glue bonds.
- Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain material shape.
