FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These shoes are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for intense running activities.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for comfort and breathability, making them suitable for sockless wear. However, personal preference may vary.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Spot clean the mesh upper using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or machine washing.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light splashes but should not be submerged in water.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
How do the Flex Pillars™ on the outsole work?
The Flex Pillars™ are designed to adapt to different surfaces, providing independent cushioning and better stabilization for a more responsive walking experience.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with your preferred orthotic or a new insole if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
While the laces are fixed, you can try to adjust the tension slightly by pulling or loosening them. For significant fit issues, consider trying a different size or model with adjustable laces.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The cushioning and insole are designed for longevity but will naturally wear down with extensive use. To refresh the feel, ensure the insole is clean and dry, or consider replacing it with a compatible insert.
Soles squeak on certain surfaces
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to moisture or newness. Try wiping the soles with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, it may be a characteristic of the material interacting with specific floor types.
Mesh upper feels warm
While the mesh is breathable, extensive activity in high heat might still lead to warmth. Ensure socks worn are also breathable, moisture-wicking materials.
