FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for comfort and support, they are primarily designed for walking, casual wear, and light workouts. For marathon running, specialized shoes with more advanced stability and responsiveness features might be more appropriate.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, it is not recommended to put these shoes in a dryer. Always air dry them to prevent damage to the materials and maintain their shape.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed with a special heel construction that allows you to easily slip your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step - Hartford sneaker is described as vegan.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to Skechers' official sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to try them on if possible or measure your foot length to compare with the chart. This specific model is UK Size 5.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® cushioning and Max Cushioning®?
ULTRA GO® is a lightweight and responsive cushioning technology, while Max Cushioning® refers to the overall platform that enhances shock absorption and energy return, leveraging technologies like ULTRA GO® for a superior comfort experience.
How often should I wash my trainers?
It is best to wash them only when they are visibly dirty or have an odor. Frequent washing can potentially shorten the lifespan of the materials. Spot cleaning for minor marks is often sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The engineered knit upper and cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly aligned. Gently slide your foot in, allowing the design to cradle your heel. Avoid forcing the shoe on.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While durable, cushioning can naturally degrade. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive exposure to heat. Consider cleaning to restore material integrity.
Traction seems less effective on wet surfaces
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers high traction, but like all outsoles, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
