FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning for walking and general comfort, they are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. For serious running, a dedicated running shoe might provide more specialized support and features.
How durable is the Glide-Step® cushioning?
The Glide-Step® geometric midsole is designed for sustained comfort and responsiveness. With regular use and proper care, it should maintain its cushioning properties for the typical lifespan of a trainer.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to be comfortable against the foot, and the breathable materials help manage moisture, making them suitable for sockless wear.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart and try them on. Ensure there is comfortable space in the toe box and that your heel is securely held by the Heel Pillow™ without being constricted.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are typically removable, allowing for cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is fully open. Loosen the laces slightly before slipping on, then re-tighten for a secure fit.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may need time to mold to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the insole with a supportive aftermarket option.
Shoes still smell after washing
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. You can also place them in a sealed bag with baking soda overnight to absorb odors, or use a shoe deodorizer spray.
Laces fraying or becoming worn
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. You can find replacements at most shoe stores or online retailers.
