FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers Summits - Korlo trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activity. They offer good cushioning but may lack the specific support and structure required for serious running.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can often be removed for cleaning. Spot clean it with a mild soap and water solution using a cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the shoe.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
This feature allows you to put on and take off the shoes without using your hands. The design includes a specific heel structure that helps guide your foot in easily.
Is the vegan leather upper waterproof?
The vegan leather upper is water-resistant to a degree, meaning it can handle light splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion is not recommended.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
The laces on this model are decorative stretch laces and are not designed to be adjusted for a custom fit. The primary fit is determined by the slip-on design and the shoe's overall construction.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a comfort feature integrated into the heel collar of the shoe. It provides a soft, cushioned area that helps to secure your heel and enhances overall comfort and stability.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
It's best to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Using the original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure socks are thin or the foot is fully relaxed. The Heel Pillow™ might require a slight break-in period. Try stepping in at an angle.
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder-free liner or talcum powder inside the shoe. If persistent, check for any loose stitching or material.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may compress with extensive use. Consider purchasing replacement insoles designed for Skechers or similar casual shoes for added cushioning.
Stains on the vegan leather upper
For fresh stains, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid bleach or harsh solvents.

Care:

- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. If so, it can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
