FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and light activity. While suitable for casual walking and very light jogging, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the necessary support and cushioning for serious runners.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole?
You can spot-clean the insole with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before putting the shoe back on.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these Skechers trainers, as it can damage the cushioning, structure, and the slip-in mechanism.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins' mean?
It means you can put the shoes on and take them off without needing to bend down or use your hands to adjust them. The design allows you to simply slide your foot in.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
Yes, Skechers typically offers their popular models like the Glide-Step Altus in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
How do I ensure a secure fit with slip-on shoes?
The 'Heel Pillow' design and the engineered fit of the shoe aim to secure your heel. Selecting the correct size is crucial for a snug and comfortable fit.
Are these shoes suitable for people with wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some flexibility, but the shoe is designed with a standard fit. For very wide feet, they might feel snug. It's advisable to try them on if possible or check reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Due to the stretch laces, a precise fit adjustment isn't possible. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor looseness, you may consider adding a thin insole. For tightness, ensure the Heel Pillow™ is sitting correctly.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is fully cupped. Sometimes, a slight push down on the heel tab while inserting your foot can help. If persistent, double-check the size is correct.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned over time.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam may compress with regular use. Gentle spot cleaning and allowing it to air dry can sometimes revive its loft. Consider replacing the insole if significant flattening occurs.
Slight squeaking noise.
This can occasionally happen due to friction between shoe components. A quick check for debris inside the shoe or between the sole and upper might help. Sometimes, talcum powder applied sparingly inside can reduce friction.
