FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Skechers Skech-Air Summits are designed for casual wear and light activities. For marathon running, a specialized running shoe with advanced support and cushioning tailored for high mileage is recommended.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing the insoles and spot cleaning the upper with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'vegan construction' mean for these shoes?
Vegan construction means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
How do the 'no-tie stretch laces' work?
These laces are elastic and pre-set to provide a snug yet comfortable fit without the need for manual tying. They allow the shoe to expand and contract with your foot's movement.
Is the Skech-Air® midsole supportive enough for plantar fasciitis?
The Skech-Air® midsole and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole offer good cushioning, which can help alleviate discomfort for some individuals with plantar fasciitis. However, for severe cases, consulting with a podiatrist for specific footwear recommendations is advised.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is an element within the Hands-Free Slip-Ins® design that provides extra cushioning and a secure, comfortable fit around the heel, ensuring the shoe stays on easily without slipping.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers feature a mesh upper, which is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions and may not provide adequate protection in wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
These trainers feature no-tie stretch laces designed for a comfortable, flexible fit. If the fit is consistently too loose, consider adding a thin insole. If too tight, ensure your foot is properly positioned within the shoe. For significant fit issues, consider other Skechers models with adjustable laces.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure you are using the Heel Pillow® as intended and sliding your foot in smoothly. Some initial stiffness may occur, which will lessen with wear. Avoid forcing your foot in.
Skech-Air® midsole appears deflated or damaged
The visible air unit is designed for cushioning. If it appears damaged or deflated, discontinue use and inspect for punctures. Contact Skechers customer support if damage is confirmed.
Insole feels uncomfortable or flattened
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require a break-in period. If discomfort persists, try removing and airing out the insole. For enhanced support, a different insole could be purchased and inserted.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoe.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed for airing out. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary, and allow to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Laces: The no-tie laces should not be altered or removed as they are integrated into the design.
