Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Skech-Air® Summits - Pure Ease trainers are designed for women seeking unparalleled comfort and effortless wear. Their key benefit is the 'Hands Free Slip-ins' technology combined with a supportive Heel Pillow®, allowing for easy on-and-off. A potential caveat is that the slip-on design might offer less adjustability than traditional lace-up shoes for very specific fit needs. These vegan trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, a visible Skech-Air® midsole for cushioning, and a Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running.
How do I know if this is the right size for me?
We recommend checking a size chart and comparing your foot measurements to the provided sizing. As this is a UK size 4.5, consider your usual fit in UK sizing. The slip-on nature means a snug fit is often preferred.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, midsole structure, and the Hands Free Slip-ins® mechanism. Spot clean or hand wash components as per the care instructions.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
'Vegan' means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
How does the Skech-Air® midsole differ from regular foam?
The Skech-Air® midsole is a visible air-cushioned unit designed to provide enhanced shock absorption and responsive cushioning compared to standard foam midsoles.
Is the 'no-tie' lacing system adjustable?
The no-tie stretch laces offer a degree of flexibility but are not designed for traditional tightening. They provide a secure, slip-on fit. For a tighter or looser feel, you can try gently manipulating the existing laces.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a soft internal cushioning system located in the heel collar of the shoe, designed to hold your foot securely and comfortably in place when you slip the shoe on.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are no-tie, you can gently pull or loosen the stretch laces to achieve a slightly more personalized fit. For significant fit issues, consider trying a different size or style.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe. The Heel Pillow® mechanism is designed to hold your heel, allowing the front to open. Try sliding your foot in smoothly rather than forcing it.
Odors developing after wear
Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Mesh upper looks dirty
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it dries completely.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, as this can damage the material.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the Skech-Air® midsole and outsole. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap can be used.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can warp the shoe's shape and materials.
