FAQs
How do I properly use the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?
Simply place your foot into the shoe and allow the unique heel construction and Heel Pillow® to guide your foot in without needing to touch the shoe with your hands. Ensure your heel is fully seated.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are designed with an anti-slip outsole for wet conditions, but the engineered mesh upper is not waterproof. They are water-resistant to a degree but not suitable for prolonged immersion in water.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own preferred insoles or orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar thickness.
What is the benefit of the charcoal-infused insole?
The charcoal infusion helps to absorb odor, keeping your feet feeling fresher during wear.
Are these suitable for athletic activities like running?
No, these shoes are designed for casual wear and comfort. They do not provide the necessary support or features for running or other high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the faux leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the faux leather. For minor marks, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with the cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?
Relaxed Fit® by Skechers offers a more spacious fit in the toe box and forefoot compared to standard fits, providing extra room and comfort without sacrificing the security of the fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
The Relaxed Fit® design provides a roomier fit. If still uncomfortable, ensure your socks are not too thick. As these have fixed stretch laces, extensive adjustment is not possible.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress with extended use. Consider replacing the insole with a compatible insert if significant loss of cushioning is experienced.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
While the Goodyear® outsole provides good traction, extremely smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris for optimal grip.
Difficulty using the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature.
Ensure you are pushing your heel fully into the back of the shoe, utilizing the Heel Pillow® support. Avoid stepping on the heel counter directly when putting them on.
