FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While these trainers offer good cushioning for walking, they are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. For running, it is recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for running activities to ensure proper support and impact protection.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Refer to the Skechers sizing guide for accurate measurements. Ensure your heel is snug and there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Can I remove the laces for washing?

The laces are fixed stretch laces and are not designed to be removed. The shoes are meant to be machine washed with the laces in place.

What is the benefit of the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?

This insole provides high-level cushioning with a responsive feel, similar to walking on a yoga mat. It also features perforations to promote air circulation, keeping your feet cooler and more comfortable.

How long do the fixed laces typically last?

The fixed stretch laces are designed for durability and ease of use. Their lifespan generally corresponds to the overall lifespan of the shoe, though excessive force or abrasion could shorten it.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

The flat knit upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to wet feet.

What does 'vegan friendly' mean for these trainers?

It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of the trainers.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty slipping shoes on

Ensure the fixed laces are loosened as much as possible. You may need to gently stretch the knit upper. For a permanent solution, consider alternative lacing methods if possible or a different shoe model.

Insole feels uncomfortable or lacks support

Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket orthotic designed for walking shoes, ensuring it fits the shoe's volume.

Shoes retain odor after washing

Ensure the shoes are completely dry after washing. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb any lingering odors. Ensure the washing machine cycle was adequate.

Knit upper shows wear or pilling

Avoid excessive rubbing against rough surfaces. Gently remove minor pilling with a fabric shaver. Check care instructions to ensure the washing method was not too abrasive.
