FAQs
How does the Hands-Free Slip-ins® technology work?
The technology utilizes a specially designed Heel Pillow® that holds the foot in place and allows for easy slip-on entry without the need to bend down or use your hands.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light training. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides a comfortable and breathable surface, making them suitable for sockless wear, especially in warmer conditions.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole for?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design that enhances cushioning and promotes a smoother transition through your stride, improving overall walking comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers. The 'Turn Out' sneaker should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. The slip-in feature should allow for easy entry without excessive force.
What materials are the shoes made from?
The shoes are constructed with a mesh upper, synthetic hotmelt overlays, and textile components. The insole is Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam®, and the midsole is Glide-Step® cushioning.
What is the main benefit of the 'Turn Out' model?
The 'Turn Out' designation in this model highlights its specific colorway (Navy Blue/Yellow) and continues the core Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® and Glide-Step® comfort features.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Allow a brief break-in period. The flexible mesh upper and memory foam insole will adapt to your foot shape with wear.
Difficulty slipping foot in fully
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully collapsed. Try sliding your foot in smoothly without forcing. A slight heel lift might be needed for the first few wears.
Odor inside the shoe
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. The shoes are machine washable; follow care instructions for a full clean. Consider using odor-absorbing sprays or powders.
Insole not drying properly
Ensure the insole is completely dry before reinserting it into the shoe to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor.
