FAQs
Are the Skechers Aero Tempo suitable for marathon running?
While the Aero Tempo is designed for speed and offers excellent energy return, its primary focus is on shorter, faster efforts like speed work and races up to half-marathon distances for many runners. For full marathons, some runners might prefer a shoe with more sustained cushioning.
How does the carbon-infused plate affect performance?
The carbon-infused winglet plate is designed to enhance propulsion and energy return, providing a more responsive and 'snappy' feel during the toe-off phase of your stride. It helps to make your foot strike more efficient.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday walking?
While comfortable due to their lightweight nature, the Aero Tempo is optimized for running performance. For everyday walking, a shoe with more general cushioning and support might be more suitable for long-term comfort.
What is the benefit of the HYPER ARC® rocker technology?
The HYPER ARC® rocker technology promotes a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off, encouraging an efficient forward momentum and reducing the effort required to maintain a running cadence.
How do I know if this size (UK 6.5) is right for me?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not constricting in the midfoot and heel.
Is the upper material durable?
The lightweight woven TPU mesh upper is designed for breathability and minimal weight. While durable for running purposes, it may be less robust than heavier materials if subjected to significant abrasion or snagging.
What kind of surfaces is the Goodyear® Outsole best for?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed to offer durable traction on a variety of surfaces commonly encountered during running, including dry roads, pavement, and light, non-technical trails.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's width or shape is suitable for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The HYPER BURST® midsole may naturally compress slightly with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade cushioning. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
The Goodyear® outsole provides good traction, but performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might impede grip.
Discomfort during heel strike or toe-off.
This could be due to the HYPER ARC® rocker technology or the carbon plate. Allow a break-in period for your gait to adapt. Ensure you are landing and pushing off correctly for this type of shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Skechers Aero Tempo requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. Ensure the size is correct for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for running on roads, tracks, and light trails. They are compatible with various athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Aero Tempo trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris from the woven mesh upper. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Washing Machine: It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the cushioning, plate, and upper construction.
