Full details

The key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® design combined with a cushioned Memory Foam™ insole for all-day comfort. A minor consideration is the fixed stretch laces, which may not suit those who prefer adjustable lacing. Key features include the innovative Heel Pillow® for secure fitting, a Stretch Fit® engineered knit upper, and a commitment to supporting pet welfare through the BOBS® from Skechers® program.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for athletic style and comfort for casual wear and light activities. For high-impact running, dedicated running shoes with specialized support and cushioning are recommended.

How do I clean the knit upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the Memory Foam™ insole and the knit upper. Hand wash or spot clean only.

What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?

Hands Free Slip-ins® means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without using your hands, by simply stepping into them.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers. The Stretch Fit® upper offers some flexibility, but it's important to choose your standard shoe size. Check reviews for specific fit feedback if available.

What is the Heel Pillow®?

The Heel Pillow® is a design feature that provides a snug and secure fit around the heel, enhancing comfort and preventing the shoe from slipping off during wear.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, Skechers typically offers their popular models in a range of colors. Please check the product listings for available color options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The Stretch Fit® upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for short durations to allow them to mold to your feet.

Difficulty slipping foot in

Ensure the heel is fully pushed down into the Heel Pillow®. Wiggling your foot slightly can help. For the first few wears, a gentle pull on the heel tab might assist.

Insole feels flat or less cushioned over time

The Memory Foam™ insole may compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are properly cared for and allow them to air out regularly to maintain cushioning.

Odors developing

Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
