FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins' mean?
Hands Free Slip-ins refers to Skechers' technology that allows you to put on and take off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands. The design incorporates a supportive Heel Pillow that holds the shoe in place.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good traction and support for walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the charcoal-infused insole?
The insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. It is not machine washable. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 5.45 cm (about 2.15 inches).
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is primarily made of polyester mesh knit, with PU and RB components. The outsole is Goodyear Rubber.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The mesh upper offers limited protection against rain. While the rubber outsole provides traction, these trainers are best suited for dry conditions to maintain comfort and material integrity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers. The shoes should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. The Hands Free Slip-ins design should allow for easy entry without forcing your foot.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure your socks are thin and smooth. For initial wears, you might need to ease your foot in gently. The Heel Pillow is designed to flex slightly with wear.
Insole feels too firm initially
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam and Memory Arch insoles may require a short break-in period to fully conform to your foot's shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Mesh upper feels too warm
While the mesh is designed for breathability, if you experience excessive warmth, consider wearing thinner socks made of moisture-wicking material. Ensure the shoes are not stored in hot environments.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh knit upper gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Insole: The charcoal-infused Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Clean the Goodyear Rubber Outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
