FAQs
Are these shoes actually hands-free?
Yes, the Hands Free Slip-ins technology features a reinforced heel panel that allows you to step into the shoe without using your hands or a shoehorn.
Can I wear these for running?
No, these are categorized as walking and casual trainers. They lack the lateral support and specific outsole traction required for running.
Do I need to tie the laces?
No, the laces are decorative stretch-laces. They are designed to maintain a consistent fit without needing to be tied.
Is the memory foam insole removable?
Yes, most Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Are they waterproof?
The mesh upper is breathable and is not designed to be waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light indoor/outdoor conditions.
Do these come in wide sizes?
While the stretch upper accommodates many foot shapes, availability of 'Wide' variants depends on the specific stock for your region.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels like it is sliding out when walking
Ensure your foot is fully pushed into the Heel Pillow; if the sensation persists, you may require a slightly smaller size.
Insole feels too soft or loses shape over time
Remove the insole and let it air out for 24 hours. If it remains compressed, the insole is replaceable with standard aftermarket arch-support insoles.
Mesh upper has picked up dirt or dust
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris before attempting to spot-clean with mild soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-ins, there is no technical setup required. To ensure longevity, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe down the mesh upper. For deeper cleaning, check the specific care tag as many Skechers mesh trainers are machine washable on a gentle cycle in cold water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning and synthetic materials.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the stretch-laced upper is designed to accommodate various foot widths comfortably without needing manual adjustment.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the memory foam insole.
