FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands Free Slip-ins®'?
The design includes an internal heel structure and a supportive collar that allows you to slide your foot in and out of the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Are these suitable for actual work environments?
They are designed for durability and comfort, making them suitable for light-duty work or jobs that involve standing and walking. However, they do not feature safety toes or other specific industrial safety certifications.
How does the 'Relaxed Fit®' differ from a standard fit?
Relaxed Fit® offers a more spacious fit in the toe box and forefoot area, providing extra comfort and room without compromising the secure fit in the heel.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand-wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry them naturally.
What is the purpose of the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole?
The Goodyear® Rubber Outsole is engineered for enhanced durability and superior traction on various surfaces, providing a reliable grip.
Is this shoe waterproof?
The shoe features leather and mesh uppers, which offer some resistance to moisture but are not fully waterproof. They are designed for general outdoor use, not for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
What is the benefit of the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This insole provides enhanced cushioning for comfort and is designed with air channels to promote ventilation, helping to keep your feet cooler and drier.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose even when laced
Due to the Relaxed Fit® design, these shoes offer a spacious feel. Consider wearing thicker socks or using an additional insole for a snugger fit.
Heel Pillow® feels stiff initially
The Heel Pillow® may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can affect traction. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might hinder grip.
Difficulty slipping shoes on/off
Ensure the back of the Heel Pillow® is clear of obstructions. Some users find it helpful to slightly loosen the laces before using the slip-in feature. If the issue persists, there might be an obstruction or damage to the slip-in mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. The lace-up front allows for minor adjustments to fit, although the primary ease of use comes from the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult men. They are compatible with standard sock wear. While the outsole is designed for varied terrain, they are best suited for casual use, light hiking, and general outdoor activities rather than extreme sports or heavy-duty industrial work.
Care:
- Cleaning: For the leather and mesh upper, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Insole Care: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can be removed for separate airing or gentle cleaning with a damp cloth if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
