FAQs
How do I clean my Skechers Virtue - Sleek shoes?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry them completely; do not use a machine dryer.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
These shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the necessary support or stability for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic activities.
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The design incorporates an exclusive 'Heel Pillow™' which cups the heel, allowing you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered knit upper is breathable and not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or puddles.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the shoes are constructed using materials that do not contain any animal products.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable and can be replaced with your preferred compatible insoles if needed.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by Skechers. These shoes are designed for a comfortable fit, and the Stretch Fit® upper offers some adaptability. Consider your usual shoe size.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The Stretch Fit® upper offers some give. If too tight, try wearing them for short periods to allow them to stretch. If too loose, consider using thicker socks or an insole insert for a snugger fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Difficulty slipping feet in initially
Ensure your heel is aligned with the Heel Pillow™. Sometimes a slight wiggle or wearing thinner socks can help. The design is intended for ease, but initial use might require a slight adjustment.
Odor developing in shoes
Due to their breathability, odors can occur with frequent wear. Ensure they are fully aired out after use. If the odor persists, follow the machine washing instructions. Using a shoe deodorizer spray can also help.
Insole loses cushioning over time
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is designed for durability, but heavy use can reduce its effectiveness. Follow care instructions to maintain material integrity. For significantly worn insoles, consider replacing them with compatible insoles.
