FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. They offer good cushioning for walking, but do not provide the specialized support or structure required for running.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes feature a specially engineered heel design that maintains its shape, allowing you to easily slide your foot in and out without needing to touch the shoe or bend over.
Can I replace the insoles?
In many Skechers models, insoles are removable. However, for optimal comfort and fit with the Hands Free Slip-ins® design, it's recommended to use the original insoles or specifically designed replacements for this type of shoe.
What does 'vegan' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these shoes.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash them as needed when they appear dirty or start to smell. Frequent washing is not usually necessary if they are aired out regularly.
What is the purpose of the Flex Pillars™?
The Flex Pillars™ are designed to provide enhanced support and stability, especially during the transition from heel strike to toe-off, promoting a smoother walking motion.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers and measure your foot length. Ensure there is a little room at the toe, but the heel should feel secure thanks to the Heel Pillow®.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Due to the fixed stretch laces and slip-on design, adjustability is limited. If the fit is significantly off, consider trying a different size or a Skechers model with adjustable laces.
Reduced cushioning after extended use.
The cushioning is designed for walking and casual wear. For heavy or prolonged use, consider rotating with other footwear. The insoles can sometimes be removed for cleaning or replacement, though this may vary by model.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. Sometimes, a slight twist of the foot or a gentle pull on the heel tab can assist. If the shoe is too narrow for your foot, a different size or width may be needed.
Machine washing results in damage.
Always use a gentle, cold cycle and air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the materials. Ensure shoes are free of large debris before washing.
