FAQs
What makes these trainers 'Hands Free'?
The 'Hands Free Slip-ins' design means you can slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on. This is facilitated by the firm Heel Pillow and the shoe's structure.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for general activewear and comfort. While suitable for light walking or gym activities, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact running.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand-washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to protect the materials and structure.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The UK size 8 is specified for this variant. Ensure your heel fits snugly into the Heel Pillow and there is comfortable space in the toe box. Refer to Skechers sizing charts if unsure.
What is the Heel Pillow?
The Exclusive Heel Pillow is a feature designed to hold your foot securely in place within the shoe, preventing slippage and contributing to the hands-free slip-in functionality.
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper material of these trainers is textile, designed to be breathable and comfortable for active wear.
How durable is the slip-in feature?
The slip-in feature is integrated into the shoe's design with a supportive Heel Pillow. With proper care and normal use as activewear, it is designed for durability. Avoid excessive force when putting them on or taking them off.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
While these are slip-ins, the stretch laces offer some adaptability. Ensure your heel is properly seated in the Heel Pillow for the best fit. If persistent issues occur, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow area is clear and the shoe opening is fully accessible. For initial wear, a sock can sometimes help the foot slide in more easily. Avoid forcing the shoe on.
Insole feels uncomfortable or flat.
The Skechers Memory Foam insole is designed to mold to your foot over time. If discomfort persists after a few wears, ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If it continues, consider if the shoe's overall fit is suitable.
Material appears dirty or stained.
Refer to the care instructions for cleaning the textile upper. For light stains, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually effective. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
