FAQs

Are these Skechers Summits trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and light activities, these trainers are not specifically designed for high-impact running. For dedicated running, shoes with specialized support and cushioning for athletic performance are recommended.

How do I know if these trainers are true to size?

Skechers generally run true to size, but foot shapes vary. It's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering this is a UK size 8. Ensure adequate space for your toes and a secure heel fit.

Can I machine wash my Skechers Summits vegan trainers?

No, machine washing is generally not recommended for Skechers trainers, especially those with memory foam, as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Please follow the spot cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole provides cushioning and some contouring support. However, for individuals requiring significant or specialized arch support, additional orthopedic insoles might be necessary.

What does 'Vegan Trainer' mean?

A 'Vegan Trainer' means that the shoes are constructed using only synthetic and plant-based materials, with no animal products or by-products used in any part of their manufacturing process.

Are the insoles removable?

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles in many Skechers models, including Summits, are often designed to be easily removable. This allows for airing out or replacing with custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are slightly snug, the flexible mesh upper may stretch a little with wear. Check if your socks are too thick. For persistent discomfort, consider consulting a foot specialist.

My trainers make a squeaking noise when I walk.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or between the shoe and the insole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to the outsole on certain floor types.

The memory foam insole seems less responsive over time.

Memory foam insoles can compress with extended use. To help restore their cushioning, remove them and allow them to air out. If they are significantly flattened, replacement Skechers insoles may be available to refresh the comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Skechers Summits trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Try On: Place your foot into the trainer. Adjust any laces or straps (if applicable) to ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
  3. Walk Test: Take a few steps to confirm the fit and comfort before extended wear. Ensure your toes have enough room to move, and your heel doesn't slip excessively.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for broad compatibility with various casual and active wardrobes:

  • Casual Wear: Pair with jeans, chinos, shorts, or casual dresses for an effortless, comfortable look.
  • Athletic Attire: Suitable for light gym sessions, yoga, or walking outfits, including leggings, track pants, and athletic tops.
  • Seasonal Versatility: The breathable mesh upper makes them ideal for warmer weather, but they can be worn year-round for indoor activities or milder outdoor conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care extends the life and appearance of your vegan trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently spot clean the upper with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help maintain their shape.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash Skechers trainers, as it can compromise the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
