How do I find the right size?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The fixed stretch laces offer a snug fit. If they feel too tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider a half-size larger if available. Ensure the knit upper has stretched slightly with wear.
Reduced cushioning over time
The insoles are designed for long-lasting comfort. If cushioning seems reduced, ensure the insoles are correctly positioned. For significant wear, consider replacing the insoles with compatible Skechers insoles.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction for general walking. For enhanced grip on wet surfaces, be cautious and consider alternative footwear designed for wet conditions.
Material discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents, which can cause discoloration. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
