FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While many Skechers are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean the mesh to maintain the structural integrity of the Heel Pillow and geometric midsole.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
No, the laces are adjustable for your initial fit. Once set, the Stretch Fit mesh allows you to slide your feet in and out without touching the laces.
Are these suitable for running?
They are designed for walking and casual activity. They are not intended for high-impact running or marathon training.
What is the Heel Pillow for?
The Heel Pillow is designed to hold your heel securely in place, preventing the shoe from slipping off while you walk and providing additional comfort.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the breathable Air-Cooled Memory Foam and soft interior lining make them comfortable for sockless wear.
Troubleshooting
Heel feeling loose or sliding out
Ensure you are using the slip-in mechanism correctly. If it continues, tighten the decorative laces slightly to increase the tension across the midfoot.
Insole feels compressed or flat
Air-Cooled Memory Foam naturally contours to the foot. If you require more support, consider replacing the insert with an orthotic insole.
Mesh becoming dirty quickly
Avoid wearing in muddy or dusty conditions. Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry debris after each use to prevent buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Since these are slip-ins, they are designed to be worn immediately out of the box. While they feature laces, they are meant to be adjusted once to your preferred tension and then left alone, utilizing the stretch of the upper to slide your foot in and out.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for standard adult female foot shapes. The Stretch Fit technology accommodates slight variations in foot width, but users with very wide feet should ensure a proper fit during initial trial.
Care Instructions:
- Spot Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt.
- Air Dry: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the memory foam and glue.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the Heel Pillow.
