FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and walking. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to Skechers' official size guide for accurate measurements. Given the slip-on nature, ensure your heel fits snugly into the Heel Pillow™ without slipping out.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the description?
Vegan construction means that no animal-derived materials were used in the making of these shoes.
How often should I machine wash them?
Machine washing is recommended only when necessary to maintain the integrity and lifespan of the materials. For daily cleaning, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
What is the difference between Glide-Step and other Skechers cushioning technologies?
Glide-Step® focuses on geometric cushioning for a smooth, responsive feel, often prioritizing lightweight comfort and natural foot movement. Other technologies might focus on different aspects like shock absorption or stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after slipping on
While designed for slip-on ease, ensure your heel is fully settled into the Heel Pillow™. If persistent looseness occurs, consider if a half-size smaller might be more appropriate or if insoles could enhance the fit.
Difficulty slipping feet in initially
The Heel Pillow™ might be stiff on first use. Gently flex the shoe or wear them for a short period indoors to help break them in. Ensure you are using the designated slip-on area and not forcing the shoe.
Washing machine cleaning resulted in odor or discoloration
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry completely; machine drying can cause damage. Check that no harsh chemicals were used during washing.
Cushioning feels too firm
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® and Glide-Step® midsole may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists after several wears, consider using additional cushioned insoles designed for trainers.
