FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the cushioning is excellent for comfort, these trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. They may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The Heel Pillow® and the flexible design allow you to slide your foot in without needing to bend or use your hands. The shoe is designed to hold its shape, making it easy to slip on and off.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is removable. This allows space for custom orthotics or your preferred insoles, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The engineered knit upper is breathable but will absorb water. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture.
What is the purpose of the Glide-Step® geometric design?
The Glide-Step® design is engineered to promote a smooth transition from the heel strike to the toe-off phase of your stride, contributing to a more efficient and comfortable walking experience.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is convenient, but it's best to do so only when necessary to preserve the materials and cushioning. Spot cleaning for minor dirt is recommended for daily maintenance.
Are these trainers considered vegan?
Yes, the product description states that these trainers are vegan-friendly.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully extended and the shoe is open. You might need to slightly adjust the lacing for a wider opening. Wear thin socks if you typically wear thick ones.
Traction is reduced
Clean the Goodyear® Performance Outsole using a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any embedded debris or dirt that might be affecting grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's support profile is suitable for your foot type.
Odors developing
Ensure the shoes are completely dry after washing. Use anti-odor sprays or inserts. Consider airing them out after each wear.

Care:
