FAQs
How do Skechers Slip-ins® work?
Skechers Slip-ins® feature an innovative design with a cushioned Heel Pillow™ that holds the heel securely, allowing you to step in and out of the shoe effortlessly without needing to use your hands.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature stretch laces that offer some flexibility. While designed for a standard fit, they can accommodate slightly wider feet due to this feature. For very wide feet, trying them on is recommended.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, you should never put Skechers trainers in a clothes dryer. Always air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain their shape and material integrity.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is convenient for cleaning, but frequent washing can affect the shoe's longevity. It's best to wash them only when necessary, such as after significant dirt or odor accumulation.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
This is a breathable, cushioned insole designed to provide comfort and help reduce heat buildup within the shoe, keeping feet cooler.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are made with mesh and synthetic materials and are not designed to be waterproof. They are breathable, which is ideal for comfort, but will not keep feet dry in wet conditions.
What is the main benefit of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a distinctive feature that enhances comfort by providing a soft, supportive cushion around the heel, contributing to a secure and comfortable fit, especially in slip-on designs.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow is fully engaged. Loosen the stretch laces slightly if needed. Encourage the child to slide their foot in smoothly.
Shoe feels too tight or loose
While designed for a secure fit, adjust socks for minor fit differences. Ensure the correct size is being worn. The stretch laces offer some flexibility.
Odors after wear
Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Use baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. If persistent, consider a gentle wash cycle as per care instructions.
Color transfer from socks
This is more common with new socks and dark shoe linings. Ensure socks are colorfast. Wash the shoes separately for the first few washes if concerned.
