FAQs
How do the hands-free slip-ins work?
The trainers feature an enhanced heel design with extra padding that holds your foot securely in place, allowing you to slide your foot in and out effortlessly without bending or touching the shoe.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, you should only air dry these trainers. Machine drying can damage the materials and cushioning.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support or stability required for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the insoles?
The insoles are part of the overall shoe that can be machine washed. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth.
What is the 5Gen cushioning?
5Gen cushioning is Skechers' proprietary lightweight and responsive midsole technology that provides excellent shock absorption and energy return for a comfortable walking experience.
How long does it take for the heel cushion to break in?
The heel cushion is designed for a secure fit. It may feel a bit firm initially, but typically molds to your foot's shape within a few wears, providing a more customized and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off the heel.
Ensure you are using the correct size. The exclusive heel cushion is designed to hold the foot securely; if it feels loose, verify the fit. For initial wear, the heel cushion may take a few wears to mold to your foot.
Discomfort in the arch or sole.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole provides adaptive cushioning. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the shoe's support profile matches your foot's needs.
Shoes do not dry properly after washing.
Ensure the shoes are placed in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Turning them periodically can help speed up the air-drying process.
