FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for general comfort and light to moderate running, they are optimized for everyday wear, walking, and training. For marathon running, specialized performance running shoes might be more appropriate.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
How do the Hands Free Slip-Ins® work?
The shoes are designed with a structured heel that holds its shape, allowing you to easily slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands. The internal Heel Pillow® helps secure your foot once inside.
What is the main benefit of the Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology is designed to provide a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off, enhancing the natural walking motion and contributing to a more efficient and comfortable stride.
How do I adjust the fit with the laces?
The laces are functional and can be tightened or loosened to achieve your preferred level of snugness and support. This allows for a customized fit over the standard slip-on entry.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight and breathable 3D print monomesh material.
What is the difference between Max Cushioning and other Skechers cushioning systems?
Max Cushioning is designed to provide an exceptionally high level of soft, responsive cushioning for maximum comfort during extended wear and impact absorption.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is not obstructed. Loosen the adjustable laces slightly to create more opening. Use a shoehorn for easier entry if needed.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
The cushioning may feel different after significant use. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. For prolonged wear, the cushioning properties naturally evolve.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the insole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. Try removing and re-seating the insole.
Traction seems poor on a specific surface
Check the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for debris or embedded objects. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and brush. Different surfaces can interact differently with any shoe tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes, specifically this model is available in UK size 11.5. The universal design makes them compatible with standard sock wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the foam and rubber components. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
