FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort during casual wear and light activities. For serious or high-impact running, a shoe specifically engineered for running would provide better support and cushioning.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers. The UK size 6 is listed for this specific model. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these trainers?
A vegan design means the shoes are made without any animal-derived materials. This includes the upper, lining, insole, and any adhesives used in their construction.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, it is strongly recommended to air dry the trainers. Placing them in a dryer can damage the materials, deform the shoe, and affect the cushioning.
What is the benefit of the geometric Glide-Step® midsole?
The geometric pattern is engineered to provide enhanced shock absorption and create a smoother, more natural transition from heel strike to toe-off, improving overall walking comfort.
How often should I wash my trainers?
Wash your trainers as needed when they appear dirty or lose their freshness. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning materials.
Can I wear these trainers with socks?
Yes, you can wear these trainers with or without socks. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort, and wearing socks can enhance moisture-wicking and hygiene.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Due to the stretch laces and flexible upper, try wearing them for a few hours to allow them to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider alternative Skechers models with adjustable laces.
Reduced cushioning after use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require time to regain its form. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended scope (e.g., heavy impact sports).
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth can be used. For significant wear, it may indicate the shoes have exceeded their typical lifespan for intense use.
Color transfer from shoes to socks
This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored textiles. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing and wash them separately on their first cleaning cycle if concerned.
