Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are fixed, the knit upper offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is slightly off, wear them for short periods to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For prolonged wear, consider replacing the insole with a new Skechers compatible insole to restore original comfort levels.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe. If you have a high instep, using a shoehorn can assist in the slipping-on process without stretching the collar excessively.
