FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Hotshot - Perfect Choice trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact activities like running or intense athletic training.
Can I wash the entire trainer in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The mixed materials (duraleather, suede, foam insole) can be damaged by a washing machine. Hand washing specific components like the insole and spot cleaning the upper is the preferred method.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It refers to the innovative design that allows you to put on and take off the shoes simply by sliding your foot in, without needing to bend down or use your hands to adjust them. This is facilitated by a unique heel construction and an internal support system.
How do I clean the white duraleather and red accents?
For the duraleather, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe clean. For the red accents and suede, use appropriate cleaners designed for those materials. A soft brush can help remove dry dirt from suede. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a feature integrated into the collar of the trainer that provides extra cushioning and a more secure, comfortable fit around the heel. It helps to prevent the heel from slipping during wear and enhances the overall comfort of the slip-in design.
Can the laces be adjusted?
The laces on this model are fixed stretch laces. They are designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit without the need for tying, contributing to the overall slip-in functionality. They cannot be adjusted for tightness like traditional laces.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight.
Due to the fixed stretch laces, adjustability is limited. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a slightly snugger fit, you can try inserting thicker insoles. For a looser feel, ensure the foot is fully seated within the shoe.
Difficulty slipping foot into the trainer.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is positioned correctly and not folded inwards. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle. If the shoe is new, the materials may be stiff; continued wear will loosen them. Ensure socks are smooth and not too thick.
Odors developing inside the trainer.
Remove the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole and hand wash it with mild soap and water. Allow both the insole and the interior of the trainer to air dry completely. Using odor-absorbing powders or sprays designed for footwear can also help.
Suede material looks matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial dirt. For tougher stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray after cleaning.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Skechers Slip-ins®: Hotshot - Perfect Choice trainers:
- Uppers: For the duraleather and suede parts, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner or suede cleaner as appropriate. Avoid soaking the material.
