FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. They are not designed for high-impact running or rigorous training regimes.
How do I clean the trainers if I don't want to machine wash them?
You can clean them by hand using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely.
Can I replace the laces if they stretch out?
The laces on this model are fixed stretch laces and are not designed to be replaced. The Stretch Fit® upper and Heel Pillow® aim to provide a secure fit even as the laces age.
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' design work?
The design incorporates a unique heel structure, often referred to as the 'Heel Pillow®', which helps maintain the shoe's shape and provides a stable platform to step into, allowing you to slide your foot in without manual adjustment.
How does the Skechers Memory Foam™ insole perform over time?
The Memory Foam™ insole is designed to conform to your foot for personalized comfort. Like all cushioning, it may soften over extended periods of use, but it generally provides consistent comfort for casual wear.
What is the 'BOBS® from Skechers®' commitment mentioned?
BOBS® from Skechers® is committed to helping save the lives of pets in need. A portion of the proceeds from BOBS® footwear sales supports animal welfare organizations.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of Stretch Fit® engineered knit and synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly within the Heel Pillow®. Try wearing thin socks or ensure socks are smooth against the heel.
Slightly loose fit
While the laces are fixed, the Stretch Fit® upper and Heel Pillow® are designed to provide a secure fit. For a snugger feel, ensure the insole is properly seated.
Machine washing instructions not followed, leading to damage
Always use cold water, a gentle cycle, and air dry. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for detailed steps. Hand washing with mild soap and water is a safer alternative if unsure.
Insole feels flat after extended use
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole is designed for comfort. For additional support, consider using after-market insoles designed for trainers, ensuring they fit within the shoe without compromising the slip-on design.
