FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather and synthetic materials offer some protection against splashes, they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily designed as walking and light-trail trainers, not as high-performance running shoes.
How do I clean the white or light-coloured accents?
Use a soft brush with a mild soap solution, focusing only on the soiled areas to avoid staining the leather.
Does the memory foam provide arch support?
The memory foam is primarily for comfort and cushioning; it offers mild support but is not a medical orthotic.
What is the primary difference between the Oak Canyon and other Skechers series?
The Oak Canyon series specifically focuses on the 'Relaxed Fit' and trail-ready durability compared to the more lifestyle-oriented Ingram series.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too snug initially
The Relaxed Fit leather upper may take a few wears to soften; try wearing thinner socks during the initial break-in period.
Insole seems to lose shape
Remove the insole and let it air dry completely if it has absorbed moisture from sweat, which helps the foam recover its structure.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are true to size, so it is recommended to order your standard UK shoe size. To maintain the leather and synthetic upper, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after dusty or muddy outings. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can degrade the memory foam and leather adhesives. For optimal longevity, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
