FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed with Max Cushioning and Glide-Step® for walking and light training. For high-impact running, dedicated running shoes with specific features might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can be removed. Clean it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back in the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the purpose of the adjustable laces if they are slip-ins?
The laces allow for a customizable fit. While the slip-in design provides primary ease of entry and a secure feel, the laces can be adjusted to fine-tune the snugness for individual comfort and support preferences.
How does the Hands Free Slip-in feature work?
The shoes feature an extended heel design and a supportive 'Heel Pillow®' inside the collar. This allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands, with the heel structure cradling your foot.
What is the main difference between Max Cushioning and Glide-Step®?
Max Cushioning refers to the overall plushness and shock absorption provided by the midsole. Glide-Step® specifically refers to the geometric design of the midsole that promotes a smoother, more efficient heel-to-toe transition with each step.
Is the Goodyear® outsole durable?
Yes, the Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed for enhanced durability, traction, and stability, making it a robust feature for everyday wear and various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose even after slipping them on.
Utilize the adjustable laces to tighten the fit around your foot. Ensure your heel is properly seated within the Heel Pillow® for optimal hold.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the shoe is completely open. Gently pull the heel collar outwards as you slide your foot in. The Heel Pillow® is designed to gently grip, so a slight, steady pressure is usually needed.
Slight discomfort after first few wears.
This is normal as the shoe conforms to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The cushioning and insole will adapt.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the Goodyear® outsole offers excellent grip, all rubber soles can be less effective on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Skechers Max Cushioning Glide-Step® trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks on the monomesh, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean the cushioning and rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Insole Care: The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed for airing out or spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
