FAQs

What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?

It means you can step into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to push your heel in. The design facilitates easy on and off.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort. While they are lightweight, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running activities and may not provide sufficient support.

How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.

What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?

It means the trainers are made using only synthetic and plant-based materials, with no animal-derived components or by-products used in their construction.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and the Hands Free Slip-ins® mechanism. Hand wash and air dry only.

What is the Glide-Step® midsole?

The Glide-Step® midsole is engineered to provide a lightweight feel and a smooth transition from heel to toe with each step, enhancing overall comfort during walking.

How do I find other colors or sizes?

Refer to the product page or Skechers' official website for available colorways and size options. Other variants may be listed with different color families and sizes.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty slipping foot in

Ensure the heel counter is fully extended. Try wearing thinner socks or no socks. Gently wiggle your foot as you slide it in.

Inconsistent fit or feel

Confirm you have the correct size. The engineered mesh can stretch slightly; allow a short break-in period. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the shoes are not too tight. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Check if the socks (if worn) are Bunching up.

Exterior scuff marks

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away scuff marks. For tougher marks, a specialized shoe cleaner for mesh materials may be used, following product instructions.
