FAQs
Are these shoes truly hands-free?
Yes, the primary feature is the Hands-Free Slip-ins® design which allows you to put them on without bending down or using your hands. However, they do have laces that can be adjusted for a more custom fit.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®'?
The Heel Pillow® is a cushioning feature around the heel collar that provides a secure and comfortable fit, preventing slippage and adding extra padding.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
Are these suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear, with cushioning for everyday activities. For marathon running, specialized high-performance running shoes are recommended.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that the shoes are constructed using 100% vegan materials, containing no animal products or by-products.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insoles can typically be removed for spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a geometric design that promotes smooth transitions from heel to toe and provides responsive cushioning for enhanced comfort during walking and standing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight after slipping them on.
Adjust the laces to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Untie and re-tie if necessary.
Slight odor after prolonged wear.
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Difficulty slipping foot in fully.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is clear. Gently pull the heel tab. With consistent wear, the shoe will mold to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. They are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. The vegan construction makes them a good choice for those seeking animal-free products.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the engineered mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the sole. Allow to air dry completely.
- Insoles: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles can often be removed for spot cleaning or airing out. Follow manufacturer recommendations for specific cleaning.
- Drying: Never use direct heat (like radiators or hairdryers) to dry the shoes, as this can damage the materials. Air dry them at room temperature.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and damage.
