FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite™ 2.0 - Alaura are designed for comfort and can be worn for everyday activities, though their primary strength lies in athletic performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping. Trying them on is the best way to confirm fit.
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.
Can I use these for trail running?
The flexible traction outsole is best suited for pavement, treadmills, and gym floors. For rugged trail running, specialized trail running shoes with more aggressive tread are recommended.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and the surfaces they are used on. For regular athletic use, most users find the cushioning effective for several hundred miles or equivalent workout time.
What is the difference between Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ and ULTRA GO® cushioning?
Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ is an insole technology focused on breathability and high-rebound cushioning for step-in comfort. ULTRA GO® is the midsole technology that provides lightweight, responsive cushioning for impact absorption.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never put these shoes in a machine dryer. High heat can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider the intended athletic use versus casual wear needs.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not used for activities that exceed their intended purpose. Refer to care instructions to maintain material integrity.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for flexible traction, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Fading color after washing
Use cold water and mild detergent for machine washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve color.
