Full details
These Skechers Summits - Leyter trainers are designed for adult males seeking easy, comfortable footwear for everyday wear. The key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, allowing for effortless on and off. A potential caveat is that they are designed for casual wear, not high-impact sports. This vegan slip-on trainer features an engineered knit and hotmelt overlay upper, fixed stretch laces, and a cushioned Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole for all-day comfort. The grey and blue colourway offers a versatile aesthetic.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the support or structure required for running or high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart for Skechers footwear. For this specific model, it is a UK adult size 8.5. Trying them on if possible is the best way to ensure a correct fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and air drying is the preferred method to maintain the shoe's integrity.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off without needing to bend down or use your hands to assist, thanks to a specific heel design.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are made with an engineered knit upper that is breathable but will not protect against significant water exposure.
How durable is the 'Heel Pillow®'?
The Heel Pillow® is designed for comfort and to aid in the slip-on feature. While durable for its intended use, excessive force or improper wear could affect its longevity.
What is the difference between this model and other Skechers trainers?
The primary difference is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology and the specific comfort features like the Heel Pillow® and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, optimized for ease of use and casual comfort.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe and the entrance is clear. The Heel Pillow® is designed to hold your heel, so a slight adjustment might be needed.
Slightly loose fit
The fixed stretch laces provide a secure fit, but for a snugger feel, consider using thicker socks. These trainers are designed for comfort and ease of entry, not a performance fit.
Insole feels flat after extended use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress over time. Gentle cleaning and air drying can help maintain its structure. If significant flattening occurs, consider replacing the insole with a compatible one.
Unusual odor
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Use odor-absorbing insoles or spray the inside with a fabric refresher. Regular airing out and cleaning the insoles can also help.
