FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, featuring a Glide-Step® midsole. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not specifically designed for high-impact running and may lack the necessary support and secure fit for such activities.
How do the Hands-Free Slip-Ins® work?
The design incorporates an internal structure and a specially shaped heel that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands. The Heel Pillow® ensures your foot stays comfortably in place once inside.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort against the skin, making them suitable for wear without socks. However, wearing socks can help manage moisture and further enhance comfort.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these trainers.
How often should I wash these trainers?
It's recommended to wash them only when they appear visibly dirty or after prolonged use that leads to odor. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials and cushioning.
What is the difference between Glide-Step® and standard midsoles?
The Glide-Step® midsole features a unique geometric design engineered to provide enhanced cushioning and a smoother, more fluid transition from heel to toe with each step, offering a distinct feel compared to traditional foam midsoles.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is fully open. Try wearing thinner socks. If the shoe is new, it may require a few wears to break in the internal structure.
Reduced cushioning over time
The insoles are designed to mold to your foot. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, consider if the shoes have exceeded their typical lifespan for optimal performance or if they require cleaning as per care instructions.
Unpleasant odor developing
Ensure the shoes are fully dried after washing or exposure to moisture. Use an antibacterial shoe spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular washing as per instructions helps prevent odor buildup.
Machine washing advice
Always use cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals. Ensure complete air drying; never use a machine dryer.
