FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and flexibility for walking, they may not provide the necessary support or durability for intense running or high-impact sports.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off without using your hands to hold the back of the shoe. You can simply slip your foot in, and the unique Heel Pillow® design helps keep the shoe on securely.
Are the laces adjustable?
The laces on this model are tied off and are for decorative purposes only. They are not functional for adjusting the tightness of the fit.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing. Since these are slip-ins, a snug but comfortable fit is ideal.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are removable. You can replace them with your own preferred insoles if needed, ensuring they fit properly within the shoe.
What materials are used in the 'Cosy Fit At Ease' sneaker?
The upper is typically made from a combination of air-quilted fabric and duraleather (synthetic leather). The insole is Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam®, and the midsole is a Glide-Step® geometric design. These are vegan-friendly materials.
How long does the cushioning last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular casual wear, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® and Glide-Step® midsole should provide comfort for a significant period. Replacing insoles can refresh the feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off the heel.
Ensure your heel is fully pushed back into the Heel Pillow®. If the shoe is fundamentally too large, consider trying a smaller size. The stretch laces are decorative and cannot be tightened.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Make sure the back of the shoe is not being obstructed. Use the Heel Pillow® as a guide to slide your foot fully forward. Ensure the shoe is the correct size for your foot.
Insole feels flat or lacks support.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides cushioning, but for significant arch support needs, consider using your own orthotic insoles, provided they fit within the shoe without making it too tight.
Machine washing resulted in damage.
Always use a garment bag or pillowcase and a cold, gentle cycle. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried away from direct heat. Refer to specific care instructions for best results.
