FAQs
What makes these trainers 'Hands-Free'?
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® design includes a specially molded heel and collar that allows you to slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Are these suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and light activities, they are primarily designed for comfort and everyday wear. For high-impact running, a shoe specifically designed for that purpose is recommended.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
Will the monomesh upper keep my feet dry in wet weather?
The 3D print monomesh upper is designed for breathability, which means it is not waterproof. It will allow air to circulate but may not provide significant protection against heavy rain or puddles.
What is the benefit of Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology creates a smoother, more natural transition from heel strike to toe-off with each step, reducing effort and enhancing walking comfort.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is engineered for durability and provides enhanced traction, ensuring a reliable grip and long-lasting wear on various surfaces.
Can I replace the laces if they get damaged?
Yes, the laces are standard shoelaces and can be replaced if they become worn or damaged. You can use any compatible athletic shoelaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. The lacing system allows for personalization.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is clear and the shoe's opening is unobstructed. Some initial stiffness may be present; wear will loosen it.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Over time, cushioning can compress. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry. If performance degrades significantly, consider replacement.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
Check the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Note that optimal traction is on dry surfaces; wet conditions may reduce grip.
Upper material feels stiff.
The 3D print monomesh upper will soften with wear. Initial wear should be for shorter periods to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with most casual and athletic wear. The adjustable laces offer versatility for various foot shapes and preferences.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is fully dry before wearing.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Machine washing and drying can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and materials.
