FAQs
What does 'Relaxed Fit' mean?
Relaxed Fit® means the shoes offer a roomier fit in the toe box and forefoot compared to standard fits, providing extra comfort and space without compromising the overall shoe size.
Can I wear these Skechers outside?
Yes, the durable outsole allows for light outdoor use such as walking to your car or a short trip to the mailbox. However, they are primarily designed for casual comfort and are not intended for rigorous outdoor activities or hiking.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always allow suede to air dry away from direct heat.
Is the footbed removable?
The product description does not specify if the footbed is removable. It is designed to be contoured for support, suggesting it is integrated into the shoe's structure.
What is the benefit of the metal side buckle?
The metal side buckle adds a decorative, bohemian-inspired element to the design. While it appears functional, its primary role is aesthetic, contributing to the slide's style.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Relaxed Fit design is specifically engineered to be roomier in the forefoot, making them a good option for individuals with wider feet who seek comfort.
What is the material of the midsole?
The midsole has a cork-style appearance, contributing to the natural and casual aesthetic of the clog slide.
Troubleshooting
Slippers feel too tight or loose
Due to the Relaxed Fit design, they are intended to be roomy. If they feel significantly off, ensure you have the correct size. The open-back design means some movement is expected.
Suede material looks dull or has marks
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner or a professional cleaning service. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Slippers are slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While designed for traction, some smooth surfaces like polished tile or wet floors may reduce grip. Use with caution in such environments.
