FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Skechers AERO Spark SI trainers offer advanced cushioning and support, making them suitable for many types of running, including longer distances. However, for elite marathoners, professional advice on specialized marathon shoes might be recommended.
Can I wear these shoes for cross-training activities?
Yes, the stability provided by the H-plate and heel counter, along with the responsive cushioning, makes them suitable for various cross-training exercises. Ensure the activity doesn't involve excessive lateral movements where a dedicated cross-training shoe might be preferred.
How do I ensure I order the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers or the retailer. Generally, these trainers fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider the sock thickness you typically wear and your preference for a snug or slightly looser fit.
What is the benefit of the carbon-infused H-plate?
The carbon-infused H-plate adds structural integrity and enhances the energy return of the cushioning system. It helps to provide a stable platform during your stride and propels you forward more efficiently.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not intended for use in wet conditions where water resistance is required. They are, however, machine washable.
How long does the machine washable feature last?
The machine washable design is intended for the durability of the materials. Following the care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle, air dry) will help maintain the shoe's integrity through multiple washes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is fully positioned back in the shoe. You can also try slightly loosening the laces (if applicable) or using a shoe horn for initial wears until the shoe breaks in.
Arch support feels too high or firm
The podiatrist-certified arch support is designed for optimal comfort but may take a few wears to get used to. If discomfort persists after a week of moderate use, consult with a footwear specialist.
Reduced cushioning or energy return over time
Cushioning materials can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or if you notice a substantial decrease in comfort and responsiveness.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
While the Goodyear Performance Outsole offers superior traction, all outsoles can be less effective on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.
