FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with higher levels of targeted support and responsiveness are generally recommended.
How do I clean the exterior of the shoes if not machine washing?
For spot cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used gently.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed with a special heel construction that allows you to easily slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made with breathable mesh uppers and are not designed to be waterproof. They are water-resistant to a degree but should not be submerged in water.
What is the difference between Max Cushioning and Glide-Step?
Max Cushioning refers to the overall level of plush cushioning provided by the midsole for shock absorption. Glide-Step refers to the specific geometric design of the midsole that promotes a smoother heel-to-toe transition during walking.
How long does the vegan material last?
The longevity of the vegan textile and synthetic materials depends on usage and care. Following the care instructions, including machine washing on cold and air drying, will help preserve the material's integrity.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for a personalized fit and support.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping shoe on
Ensure the heel collar is fully extended. Loosen the laces slightly before slipping your foot in. The 'Heel Pillow' may require a few wears to break in.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Remove the insole and check for any debris or bunching. Ensure it is correctly positioned. Allow a break-in period as the cushioning adapts to your foot.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the Goodyear® outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can affect traction. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that may be hindering grip.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the laces to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. The slip-in design aims for a snug feel, but laces allow for fine-tuning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sneakers require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging. Adjust the laces for a personalized fit if desired, although the slip-in feature is designed for a comfortable, snug fit without constant lace adjustment.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males with UK shoe sizes. Designed for casual wear, walking, and light fitness activities. Not recommended for high-impact sports or heavy-duty athletic training where specialized support is critical.
Care:
- Machine Washable: Place the sneakers in a washing machine. Use a cold cycle with a mild detergent.
- Air Dry: It is recommended to air dry the shoes. Do not use a dryer or direct heat, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Cleaning Insole: The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed for separate washing with mild soap and water. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting.
