Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Academy HI - Elevated Essence trainers are designed for adult females seeking a blend of court-inspired style and classic comfort. The key benefit is the combination of a genuine pigskin suede upper with eye-catching metallic details and a supportive, cushioned insole, all on a platform gum midsole. A potential caveat is that the specific suede material may require more careful cleaning than synthetic alternatives. This model features a lace-up design and the signature Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole.

FAQs
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is made from genuine pigskin suede.
What type of cushioning is used?
These trainers feature Skechers' signature Air-Cooled Memory Foam® cushioned insole.
How should I clean the suede material?
It is best to use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid machine washing or soaking the trainers.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer comfort for walking, they may not provide the specific support and features required for high-impact running activities.
What does the 'HI' in Academy HI stand for?
The 'HI' likely refers to the high-top silhouette or style of the trainer, as opposed to a low-top version.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically designed to be removable for cleaning or for the insertion of custom orthotics.
What other color options are available?
While this guide focuses on the Navy Blue/Pink colorway in Size 3, Skechers Academy HI - Elevated Essence trainers are available in other colors and sizes. Please check product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or scuffed
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher scuffs, a suede eraser or specialized suede cleaner may be necessary. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are fraying or worn
Replace the laces with a new pair of suitable length and material. This is a simple way to refresh the appearance of the trainers.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may compress slightly with extensive use. You can try cleaning the insole as per care instructions. If cushioning is significantly reduced, consider purchasing replacement insoles designed for athletic footwear.
Trainer feels slightly tight
Suede can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot. Lacing techniques can also help adjust the fit – try skipping an eyelet or adjusting the tightness of the laces.
