FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step Hartford trainers are designed for comfort and support during everyday activities, walking, and light training. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated running shoes with specific support features may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the 'Hands Free Slip-Ins®' mechanism?
The slip-in feature is integrated into the shoe's structure. Clean the exterior of the shoe as per the care instructions. Avoid pouring water directly into the shoe or submerging it, as this can affect the internal components.
What is the main difference between this and other Skechers trainers?
This model specifically features the Hands Free Slip-Ins® technology, the Heel Pillow™ for a secure heel fit, and the Glide-Step® geometric design for enhanced smooth transitions, alongside the Max Cushioning platform and Goodyear® outsole.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, knit upper, and other components. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Skechers size chart and measure your foot. The trainers should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. The slip-in design allows for a comfortable fit, but ensure your heel is secure without slipping.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole provides enhanced traction, stability, and durability compared to standard outsoles, offering a more secure grip on a variety of surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The engineered knit upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and the material will adapt to your foot shape for a more comfortable fit.
Difficulty slipping shoe on
Ensure the laces are loosened adequately. The Heel Pillow™ technology is designed for a snug fit; try pulling the heel tab firmly while slipping your foot in.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating shoes or exploring replacement insoles if significant wear occurs.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the Goodyear® outsole provides excellent grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris for optimal traction. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step Hartford trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the engineered knit upper, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing.
- Outsole: Clean the Goodyear® outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
