FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very rugged mountain terrain?
The Skechers MC Protect - Weekend Getaway features a rock plate for added protection, making them suitable for varied terrains including moderately rugged trails. For extreme mountaineering, specialized gear might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers or the retailer. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately, typically from the heel to the tip of your longest toe, and compare it to the UK sizing guidelines. Remember that hiking shoes are often best tried on with the socks you intend to wear.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and cushioning materials. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.
What is the benefit of the rock plate midsole?
The rock plate is a protective layer embedded in the midsole that shields your feet from sharp rocks, roots, and other underfoot hazards, enhancing comfort and safety on uneven trails.
How long does the waterproofing typically last?
The duration of waterproofing depends on usage and care. Regular cleaning and proper drying after use will help maintain its effectiveness. Over time and with significant wear, the waterproof membrane may eventually degrade, as with all waterproof products.
Can I replace the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other suitable insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoes
Ensure laces are tied securely and there are no visible tears in the waterproof membrane. Check if the tongue gusset is properly sealed. If damage is present, the waterproof integrity may be compromised.
Discomfort or rubbing during wear
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Try adjusting the lacing to achieve a more comfortable fit. The shoes may also require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the size or fit is appropriate.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Inspect the outsole for wear and tear. Clean any mud or debris from the treads. For extremely slick conditions, consider that no outsole is completely slip-proof.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring a proper fit. Lace them up to your desired tightness for optimal support and comfort before your first use.
Compatibility: Designed for outdoor trail use on moderate to challenging terrains. They are suitable for hiking, walking, and general outdoor activities. Ensure your chosen size provides adequate room for movement, especially with thicker hiking socks.
Care: To maintain the waterproof quality and appearance of your Skechers MC Protect - Weekend Getaway shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth to wipe the surfaces. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet inside, remove the insole and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and waterproofing.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably away from direct sunlight.
