Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for general comfort and casual wear. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.
How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?
Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the mesh. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials, particularly the memory foam insole and midsole construction.
What is the benefit of the Glide-Step® midsole?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed to provide a smooth, fluid stride and a responsive feel, contributing to the overall lightweight comfort of the shoe.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, Skechers trainers run true to size. However, individual fit can vary. Refer to sizing charts and customer reviews for more specific guidance.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these specific trainers.
How durable are the stretch laces?
The tied-off stretch laces are designed for convenience and a secure fit for casual wear. For activities requiring extreme durability or frequent tightening, traditional laces might offer more adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. The memory foam insole will adapt over time.
Slightly loose fit
Adjust the tied-off stretch laces for a more secure fit. Ensure the heel is properly seated.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the Air-Cooled Memory Foam is durable, its initial plushness may slightly reduce with extensive use. Ensure proper care to maximize lifespan.
Material scuffing
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
