FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual walking and everyday comfort, not high-impact athletic activities like running. For running, Skechers offers specialized running shoe lines.
Can I wash the entire shoe in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand-cleaning the upper and insoles as per the care instructions is the best method to maintain their structure and materials.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance indicates that the shoe has been reviewed by a committee of podiatrists and found to be beneficial for foot health and promoting foot function.
How durable is the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?
The Hands Free Slip-ins® design is engineered for durability through repeated use. The reinforced heel counter helps maintain its structure over time.
What is the difference between Arch Fit® and regular Skechers insoles?
The Arch Fit® insole features a unique, supportive design developed with podiatrists to offer enhanced comfort and stability. Regular insoles may offer cushioning but lack the specific arch contouring and support.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some resilience, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.
What UK size is equivalent to a US size?
Sizing can vary. Please refer to the Skechers official size chart for accurate conversion between UK and US sizing for women's footwear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure your heel is slightly lifted and use the back tab to assist. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size or width is appropriate.
Arch support feels too high or uncomfortable
This can be common with new arch support. Try wearing the shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. If discomfort continues, consider removing the Arch Fit® insole and using your own or going without.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
The outsole is designed for general use. For slippery or uneven terrain, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, which can sometimes reduce grip.
Material creasing or scuffing
Creasing is natural with leather and canvas wear. For scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner or polish might help. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can damage the materials.
