FAQs
Can I put these in the washing machine?
While some Skechers models are machine washable, it is generally recommended to spot clean these trainers to protect the specific heel cushion and memory foam structure.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are engineered for walking and light cross-training; they do not provide the motion control or heavy impact protection required for long-distance running.
Does the heel cushion lose its elasticity?
The heel cushion is designed for long-term durability, but like all athletic footwear, performance will vary based on frequency of use and the environment.
Can I replace the insole?
The Air Cooled Memory Foam insole is designed to be a core part of the shoe's comfort system; removing it may alter the fit and support.
Are they true to size?
Generally, yes. However, because they are slip-ins, a secure fit is necessary to prevent heel slippage, so ensure you select your standard size.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel cushion is not folded inward during entry; guide your heel slightly more vertically to engage the slip-in mechanism.
Feeling of slight pressure on top of the foot
The elasticized upper is designed to mold to your foot; wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to relax and conform.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a soft-bristle brush to clear any dirt or small pebbles from the flex columns on the bottom of the sole to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed to be ready to wear immediately out of the box. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to spot-clean the exterior fabric. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the memory foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time.
- Fit Check: Ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks to maintain the correct internal volume for the shoe's slip-in mechanism to function as intended.
- Maintenance: If the heel cushion becomes obstructed by debris, gently wipe the interior lining with a dry microfiber cloth to restore slip-in performance.
