FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and comfort during everyday activities. They offer good cushioning for walking but may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The knit upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they are machine washable, they are not designed for prolonged exposure to wet conditions and may not offer significant water resistance.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for accurate measurements. Given the Stretch Fit® upper and laceless design, a snug fit is generally recommended.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
Vegan construction means that no animal-derived materials were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended only when necessary to maintain cleanliness. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials. Air drying is crucial after washing.
Will the Heel Pillow® be uncomfortable?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit by gently cradling the heel. Most users find it adds to the overall comfort and stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose without laces.
Ensure your heel is properly positioned in the Heel Pillow®. The Stretch Fit® upper provides a snug feel, and the laceless design relies on a secure heel fit for stability.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
While the cushioning is designed for durability, consider cleaning the insoles as per care instructions. For significantly degraded cushioning, replacement may be necessary over extended periods of heavy use.
Difficulty slipping feet in initially.
Gently pull the back of the shoe collar while sliding your foot in. The Stretch Fit® upper will adapt to your foot shape over time, making it easier with each wear.
