FAQs
Are these shoes truly hands-free?
Yes, the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® design allows you to put them on and take them off without using your hands, thanks to the unique heel construction.
How do I clean my Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step trainers?
These trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry. Do not machine dry.
What makes the cushioning system effective?
The combination of the Max Cushioning® midsole and Glide-Step® technology provides superior shock absorption, energy return, and a smooth transition with every step.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are best suited for walking, casual wear, and light athletic activities. For high-impact running, a shoe specifically designed for running may offer more appropriate support and features.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of this shoe.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made in partnership with Goodyear®, known for its durable tire technology, providing enhanced traction and longevity.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is removable and can be replaced if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose initially
Adjust the laces for a more personalized fit. The Heel Pillow™ and slip-in mechanism may require a short break-in period to adapt to your foot shape.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel is fully uncompressed. Try slightly loosening the laces. The slip-in mechanism is designed to be snug for a secure fit, so a gentle push is usually sufficient.
Reduced traction or grip
Check the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for debris or wear. Clean the outsole with a brush. If significant wear is visible, consider replacement.
Insole feels less cushioned after extended use
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole may benefit from cleaning to restore its cushioning and breathability. If the issue persists, the insole may be nearing the end of its lifespan and can be replaced.
