FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they may not provide the specialized support and structure needed for serious running or high-impact training.
How do I know if they will fit correctly if I can't adjust the laces?
The fit is determined by the overall shoe construction, engineered mesh upper, and Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole. It's recommended to check size guides and customer reviews, or try them on if possible, to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to be comfortable against the foot, and the breathable mesh upper helps keep feet cool. However, wearing socks can sometimes enhance comfort and hygiene, especially if you experience any rubbing.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
This feature means you can put on and take off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands. The unique heel design allows you to simply step into the shoe.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended as needed when the trainers appear dirty or lose their freshness. Frequent washing is generally not necessary unless they are heavily soiled.
What is the Glide-Step® midsole made of?
The Glide-Step® midsole is designed to provide a lightweight, smooth walking experience. The exact material composition is proprietary but focuses on cushioning and energy return for comfortable strides.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel counter is fully extended. Wearing thin socks may help initially. The design is meant to be snug but yielding.
Shoe feels too loose or too tight
As the laces are decorative, fit adjustments are limited. If the shoe feels too loose, consider adding thicker socks or an insole insert. If too tight, air drying might slightly help them mold to your foot over time.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may compress slightly over time. Ensure the shoes are cleaned according to care instructions, as dirt can affect comfort. Consider using replacement insoles if significant compression occurs.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Follow the machine washable care instructions. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and air dry.
