FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear, offering comfort and convenience. For serious running or high-impact athletic activities, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I know if the vegan materials are durable?
The engineered mesh and synthetic materials used are selected for breathability and comfort in casual settings. Durability is comparable to other casual trainers of similar construction.
Can I adjust the laces for a tighter fit?
No, the laces on this model are non-tie stretch laces, integrated for the slip-on design. They are not intended for adjustment.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended as needed when the shoes appear dirty or develop odors. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials and cushioning.
What is the benefit of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to secure your heel in place, providing a comfortable and stable fit that prevents the shoe from slipping off during wear, enhancing the hands-free experience.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The engineered mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are not recommended for heavy rain or submersion in water. Allow ample time to air dry if they become damp.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
These trainers use non-adjustable stretch laces for a slip-on fit. If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a different size or model. The Heel Pillow® aims to provide a secure fit.
Difficulty slipping shoes on.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being compressed too aggressively. Try a slightly different angle of entry. For some, a shoehorn might still be helpful if the Heel Pillow® feels restrictive initially.
Insole feels flat or lacks cushioning.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may take a short period to mold to your foot. If cushioning is insufficient after several wears, the insole is removable and can be replaced with a compatible orthotic if needed.
Material shows wear and tear quickly.
These trainers are designed for casual use. For strenuous activities or rough terrain, they may not hold up as well. Ensure they are not exposed to excessive abrasion or harsh conditions.
