FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These shoes are designed for comfort and light activity, including walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and responsiveness required for intense running.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
If removable, the insole can be hand washed with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and construction.
What is the main benefit of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole provides enhanced traction, stability, and durability, offering a reliable grip on various surfaces.
How does the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature work?
The unique design, combined with a supportive Heel Pillow®, allows you to slide your foot in and out of the shoe easily without needing to bend down or use your hands.
What is the difference between Max Cushioning and Glide-Step®?
Max Cushioning refers to the overall plush and abundant cushioning system in the midsole for superior comfort. Glide-Step® is a specific technology within the midsole designed to provide a smoother transition and rolling motion from heel to toe with each step.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The monomesh upper offers breathability, which means they are not resistant to water. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose even with laces tightened.
Ensure you are utilizing the 'Heel Pillow®' for a secure heel lock. If still too loose, consider using thicker socks or exploring socks with enhanced grip.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the heel tab is fully extended and the shoe opening is clear. Try sliding your foot in with a gentle rocking motion. If problems persist, ensure you have the correct size.
Reduced cushioning after extended use.
The cushioning is designed for durability but can naturally compress over time. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry, as moisture can affect performance. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacing the insoles.
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe interior, or between outsole components. Ensure the insole is properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help, or clean the outsole if debris is trapped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. While they feature adjustable laces, they are designed for a slip-on experience. For a snugger fit, simply tighten the laces as needed. For the easiest on/off, ensure the heel counter is fully accessible and slide your foot in.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for adult male wear and are compatible with standard sock wear. They are suitable for a variety of surfaces including pavement, indoor gym floors, and light trails. They are not specifically designed for technical hiking or extreme weather conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the monomesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can often be removed. If so, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely. Ensure the shoe is fully dry before reinserting the insole to prevent odor.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes naturally. Do not place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
