FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands Free'?
They feature Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology with a specially designed heel that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend or touch the shoe with your hands.
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
No, these are designed for casual wear and light activities. The slip-on nature and cushioning are optimized for comfort and ease, not for high-impact sports.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
It is strongly recommended to air dry these shoes. High heat from a dryer can damage the materials and affect their shape and performance.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the shoes are made without any animal-derived materials or by-products.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the larger size for slip-on styles, but personal preference may vary.
How often should I wash these shoes?
Wash them as needed when they appear dirty or smell. Frequent washing is not necessary and could potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning and materials.
What is the purpose of the tied-off stretch laces?
The stretch laces are a design element that contributes to the shoe's aesthetic and provides a snugger fit around the midfoot. They are not functional laces for adjusting tightness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The engineered mesh and memory foam will conform to your foot with wear. Try wearing them with socks for a short period to help them stretch slightly.
Heel slips up while walking
Ensure your heel is fully seated within the Heel Pillow®. If the issue persists, it might be a sizing issue. Consider trying a half size up or down.
Difficulty slipping shoe on after initial use
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear of debris. The shoe is designed to be a slip-on, but ensure you are using the heel tab correctly to guide your foot in.
Discoloration after washing
Ensure you are washing with cold water on a gentle cycle and air drying away from direct sunlight. Using harsh detergents can also cause discoloration.
