FAQs
What makes Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® unique?
They feature a unique Heel Pillow® and an overall design that allows you to slip them on and off effortlessly without bending or using your hands.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
These shoes feature stretch laces for convenience. While they offer some flexibility, they are not designed for significant lacing adjustments like traditional laces.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers and consider your usual UK adult foot size. These are listed as UK size 6.5 in the product description.
What does 'Vegan' mean in relation to these shoes?
It means the shoes are constructed using 100% vegan materials, meaning no animal products or by-products were used in their manufacturing.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended when the shoes appear visibly dirty or if they start to smell. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is suitable for minor dirt.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole technology?
It's a midsole designed with geometric cushioning to provide a smooth transition from heel to toe and responsive comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully accessible and try slightly wiggling your foot as you slide it in. For a snugger fit, ensure the stretch laces are appropriately taut.
Shoes feel too loose after slipping on
The stretch laces offer a secure fit. If they feel loose, ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cupping your heel. For a tighter fit, consider re-lacing with tighter knots if possible, though this is not the primary design feature.
Insole feels flat after extended use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort. If it loses its cushioning, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket option.
Machine washing results in fading or damage
Always use cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can degrade materials.
