FAQs
How do the Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes feature an internal Heel Pillow® that holds your foot securely in place, allowing you to slide your foot in and out effortlessly without bending over or touching the shoe.
Are these suitable for running or intense athletic training?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for walking and daily activities, they are designed as trainers for comfort and casual wear. For high-impact running or specific sports, dedicated running shoes or sports-specific footwear might be more appropriate.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
Yes, these Skechers trainers are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry them afterward.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan means that the product is made without any animal-derived materials or by-products.
How does the Glide-Step® design benefit my walk?
The Glide-Step® geometric design in the midsole helps to create a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each step, contributing to a more fluid and natural walking motion.
What is the purpose of the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This insole provides high-rebound cushioning, similar to a yoga mat, and features enhanced breathability to help keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.
How durable is the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole?
The Goodyear® Rubber Outsole is engineered for enhanced durability and provides excellent traction, offering a secure grip and long-lasting wear on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While lace-up, these trainers feature a slip-in design for ease of entry. Ensure you are trying them on with appropriate socks. If the fit is consistently an issue, consider if the sizing is correct or if this specific model's fit profile suits your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
The cushioning is designed to be responsive and long-lasting. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. For extensive wear, consider alternating with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning to recover.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully extended. Sometimes, a slight inward push on the heel tab can help. Wearing thinner socks might also make entry easier initially until the shoe conforms to your foot.
Outsole traction seems reduced
Check the Goodyear® Rubber Outsole for any debris, mud, or slippery substances. Clean the outsole with water and a brush. If the shoe has seen very heavy wear, the tread may be worn down, and replacement might be necessary.
