Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Summits Plus trainers are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and versatile footwear for casual wear and light athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in the cushioned insole and supportive design, offering all-day comfort. A potential caveat is their suitability primarily for non-strenuous activities, rather than high-impact sports. Key features include a breathable mesh upper, a shock-absorbing midsole, and a flexible traction outsole.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

No, the Skechers Summits Plus trainers are designed for comfort during casual wear and light activities like walking or very light jogging. They do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact running events like marathons.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trainers should feel comfortable with a little room at the toe, and your heel should not slip excessively. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. The UK size 8 is equivalent to a US women's size 10.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, so they are not ideal for heavy rain. While the outsole provides some traction, they may not offer sufficient grip on very wet or slippery surfaces.

How often should I wash my trainers?

Wash your trainers as needed when they appear dirty or lose their freshness. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials, so aim for cleaning when necessary.

What is the main difference between Summits and Summits Plus?

The 'Plus' designation typically indicates updated comfort features or design elements over a previous version. Specific differences might include enhanced cushioning, improved breathability, or minor aesthetic changes, but both series focus on lightweight comfort.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Skechers Summits Plus series is available in a range of colors. This specific guide details the green variant, but other options like blue, pink, and purple are also part of the collection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the foam to conform to your foot. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort, not overly tight.

Slipping sensation when walking

Check if the laces are adequately tied for a secure fit. Ensure the correct size has been purchased. For very smooth indoor surfaces, minor slippage can occur due to the flexible sole design.

Reduced cushioning over time

The memory foam insole may lose some of its original loft after extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles with a new pair of Skechers insoles or a compatible aftermarket option for renewed comfort.

Machine washing causes damage

Ensure only cold water and a gentle cycle are used. Always air dry; never machine dry. Remove insoles and laces if possible before washing to protect them and the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear straight from the box. No assembly or complex setup is required. Simply ensure they fit correctly before your first use.

Compatibility:

  • Intended Use: Best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. Not recommended for high-impact sports or activities requiring specialized footwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: These trainers can be safely machine washed. Use a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Do not place in a dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesive.

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
