Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear, walking, and light activities. They feature cushioning and comfort but do not offer the specialized support and structure required for high-impact running.
How do I ensure the 'no-tie' laces work correctly?
The 'no-tie' laces are designed to maintain their fit. Ensure your foot is properly positioned within the shoe, and the laces are seated correctly in their channels. They are intended to provide a secure fit without the need for manual tying.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam™ footbed is designed for comfort against the foot, and the shoe is made with breathable materials, making them suitable for wear without socks.
What does 'vegan materials' mean for this shoe?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe. This includes the upper, lining, sole, and any adhesives.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
It is recommended to machine wash them only when necessary to maintain their longevity and appearance. Over-washing can degrade the materials over time.
What is the heel height?
The heel height of these trainers is 3.2 cm.
Can I adjust the fit of the 'no-tie' laces?
While they are designed to stay put, you can make minor adjustments by carefully manipulating the laces through their eyelets for a slightly tighter or looser feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
While the laces are 'no-tie', you can gently adjust them. For a tighter fit, carefully pull the laces taut and ensure they are seated properly in the eyelets. For a looser fit, ease the tension on the laces. If the fit remains unsatisfactory, consider the 'Heel Pillow™' system; ensure your heel is fully seated to engage it.
Slipping sensation within the shoe.
Ensure your heel is fully inserted into the shoe. The Heel Pillow™ system is designed to cradle your heel and keep it secure. If slipping persists, try wearing slightly thicker socks or ensure the 'no-tie' laces are providing adequate snugness.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure you are using the designated 'Slip-ins' area at the heel. Sometimes, a slight twist of the ankle or a gentle push down on the heel can help. Make sure the shoe is facing the correct foot and that the tongue is aligned.
Material feels stiff after washing.
Ensure the shoes were air-dried and not exposed to direct heat or a tumble dryer. If they feel stiff, wear them around the house with socks for a short period to help them regain flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup beyond wearing them. Simply slip them on using the Hands Free Slip-ins™ feature. The 'no-tie' laces are pre-set for a standard fit but can be adjusted slightly if needed by carefully manipulating the laces through their eyelets.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for casual wear, walking, and light activities. They are compatible with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. They are not recommended for rigorous athletic training or sports requiring specialized footwear.
Care:
- Machine Washable: Place the trainers in a washing machine. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. It is recommended to place them in a shoe bag or pillowcase for added protection.
- Air Dry: After washing, allow the trainers to air dry completely. Do not use a dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and construction.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: For minor scuffs on the sole, a damp cloth or a soft brush can be used.
- Laces: Avoid machine washing the laces separately unless necessary; if removed, ensure they are re-inserted correctly for the 'no-tie' function.
