FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed for lightweight comfort and everyday training. For marathon running, consider shoes with more specialized cushioning and support features tailored for long-distance running.

How do I clean the geometric midsole?

The geometric midsole can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid immersing the entire shoe in water unless you are following the machine washing instructions.

What is the heel height and offset?

These trainers have a 1 1/2-inch heel height and an 8mm offset, designed to promote a natural stride.

Can the bungee laces be replaced with traditional laces?

While not officially supported, it may be possible to thread traditional laces through the eyelets if you prefer, though the shoe is designed to function with the bungee system.

How much do the trainers weigh?

The trainers weigh approximately 8.8oz (250g) for a women's size 6.

What does 'M-Strike technology' do?

M-Strike technology is integrated into the midsole design to encourage efficient energy transfer and promote a smoother transition from the heel strike to the toe-off phase of your gait.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Based on general product information, Skechers trainers typically run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals. Referencing size charts and customer reviews can be helpful.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the bungee lacing by pulling the toggle or knot to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the knot is secure.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after first wear

Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While the cushioning is designed for durability, effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacement after significant wear.

Discoloration after washing

Ensure you are using cold water on a gentle cycle and air-drying. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, and direct heat which can cause damage or color loss.
