FAQs
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The design incorporates a specific heel structure and flexible materials that allow you to slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. They offer comfort and ease of use but may not provide the specialized support or stability required for high-impact sports like running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the Memory Foam™ insole and the engineered knit upper. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does the 'BOBS® from Skechers®' commitment mean?
This means that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these trainers goes towards helping shelter animals in need, supporting rescue organizations.
How do I clean the white color?
For the Off White color, use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide a soft, cushioned, and supportive feel around the heel, enhancing comfort and helping to keep the shoe securely in place.
Are the laces adjustable?
No, the trainers feature fixed stretch laces that do not require tying and are part of the slip-on design. They are not adjustable for tightness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Due to the fixed stretch laces, adjust the fit by ensuring your foot is fully inside and heel is seated. If a significant fit issue persists, consider trying a different size or model that offers adjustable laces.
Insole is uncomfortable or losing cushioning.
Ensure the Memory Foam™ insole is properly seated. If cushioning has decreased significantly over time, it may be nearing the end of its effective lifespan for optimal comfort.
Difficulty slipping shoes on.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear and try sliding your foot in smoothly. Some initial stiffness might be present which can loosen with wear.
Tread on the sole appears worn.
Light wear on the sole is normal. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may reduce grip and indicate it's time for replacement.
