FAQs
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® actually work?
The shoes feature a specially molded heel and a supportive Heel Pillow® that allow you to slide your foot in without bending or touching the shoe. The heel is designed to hold its shape, enabling easy entry.
Are the stretch laces functional for adjusting the fit?
No, the stretch laces are decorative and designed to give the appearance of a laced shoe while maintaining the convenience of a slip-on. The fit is determined by the shoe's construction and the internal cushioning.
What is the benefit of the Relaxed Fit® design?
The Relaxed Fit® design provides a more generous space in the forefoot and toe area compared to standard fits, offering enhanced comfort for all-day wear, especially for those who prefer a less constrictive feel.
Can I wear these shoes for running or sports?
These shoes are designed for casual wear, comfort, and convenience. They are not intended for high-impact activities like running or sports, which require specialized athletic footwear for support and protection.
How should I clean the suede and synthetic upper?
For suede, use a suede brush and specialized cleaners, avoiding water. Synthetic parts can be wiped with a damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Is the memory foam insole removable?
While the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides comfort, it is generally not designed to be removed. It is integrated into the shoe's cushioning system.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic materials and suede, offering both durability and a stylish appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The shoes are designed with a Relaxed Fit® and a supportive Heel Pillow®. Wear them around the house for a short period; the materials may stretch slightly to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size.
Difficulty slipping foot in completely
Ensure your heel is correctly aligned with the back of the shoe where the Heel Pillow® is located. Sometimes, a slight twist of the foot as you slide it in can help engage the slip-in feature.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used following product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® provides cushioning. If it feels less supportive over time, ensure it is clean and dry. For persistent flatness, a thin aftermarket insole might be considered, though this could affect the fit.
