FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for general comfort and shorter runs, they are optimized for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized marathon shoes might offer more specific performance features.
How do I clean the Hands-Free Slip-ins® mechanism?
The primary cleaning for the slip-in feature involves keeping the interior clean. Use a damp cloth for the heel area and ensure the inside is free of debris. Avoid saturating the shoe.
What is the main benefit of Glide-Step® technology?
Glide-Step® technology is designed to provide a smoother heel-to-toe transition with each step, contributing to a more efficient and comfortable stride.
Can I replace the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable and can be replaced with other compatible insoles if desired, though the original provides specific comfort and cooling benefits.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are designed for dry to slightly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ is an internal cushioning feature designed to provide extra comfort and a secure, snug fit around the heel area, preventing slippage.
How does the Goodyear® Performance Outsole benefit the shoe?
The Goodyear® outsole is engineered to provide enhanced traction, stability, and durability, ensuring the shoe performs well on a variety of surfaces and lasts longer.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure your heel is fully back and the laces are loosened. Some users find it easier to put on while seated.
Foot feels unstable or too cushioned
This may be due to personal preference for firmer support. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure fit. If discomfort persists, consult with a footwear specialist.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
While the Goodyear® outsole provides good grip, always exercise caution on wet or extremely smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Insole feels different after cleaning
Ensure the insole is completely dry before reinserting. If it remains misshapen, try reinserting it and wearing the shoes to allow it to mold back to your foot.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the engineered mesh upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean the cushioning and outsole with a damp cloth. A soft brush can be used for more ingrained dirt on the outsole.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can often be removed for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can usually be hand-washed separately.
