FAQs
How do the Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
The unique design incorporates a structured heel with a supportive 'Heel Pillow™' that gently cups your foot, allowing you to easily slide your foot in without needing to bend or use your hands. The laces are primarily for a secure fit once the shoe is on.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and walking. While they offer excellent cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running. For dedicated running, Skechers offers specialized running shoe lines.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable. You may be able to remove the insole and insert your own orthotics, but this could affect the shoe's original fit and cushioning.
What is the primary benefit of the Glide-Step® design?
The Glide-Step® geometric sole design is engineered to create smoother heel-to-toe transitions with every step, enhancing comfort and providing responsive, fluid movement.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. If visibly dirty or after significant wear, follow the machine washable instructions. For light dirt, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient.
What makes the Max Cushioning® platform different?
The Max Cushioning® platform is Skechers' designation for their most cushioned footwear, designed to maximize shock absorption and provide superior comfort and energy return for extended wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are made from breathable polyester knit and are designed for comfort in dry conditions. They are water-resistant to a degree but not suitable for heavy rain or water submersion.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure laces are untied or very loose. Make sure the Heel Pillow™ area is clear. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle.
Insole feels too firm or too soft
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for a balance of breathability and cushioning. Initial wear may feel different; allow a break-in period. If the issue persists, consider trying a different Skechers model with varied cushioning profiles.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
While the Goodyear® outsole offers high traction, all outsoles can be less effective on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might impede grip. Exercise caution in wet conditions.
Shoes lose shape after washing
Ensure the shoes are air-dried completely and have not been exposed to high heat. Follow the machine washing instructions precisely, using cold water and a gentle cycle, and avoid tumble drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for women seeking comfort for walking, casual wear, and light activity. They are designed for general adult use.
Care:
- Machine Washable: Place the trainers in a washing machine bag or pillowcase.
- Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
- Air dry only. Do not place in the dryer or use direct heat, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
- For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
