FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. They offer cushioning and support for walking but may not provide the specific features or stability required for running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping. Try them on with the type of socks you would typically wear.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed. Ensure the replacement insole is compatible in size and shape.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How often should I wash my trainers?
Wash only when necessary to maintain the integrity of the materials. Over-washing can lead to premature wear. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is often sufficient for minor dirt.
What is the benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are strategically placed in the midsole to provide high-rebound cushioning and enhance stability with each step, offering extra support.
Do the fixed stretch laces provide a secure fit?
The fixed stretch laces are designed to offer a secure slip-on fit. They provide some give but do not allow for traditional lacing adjustments. If you prefer a highly customizable fit, traditional lace-up trainers might be a better option.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. The flat knit upper offers some flexibility.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The outsole is designed for walking traction. If you encounter slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.
Insole is not providing enough support
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for comfort and breathability. If you require custom orthotics or additional arch support, consider replacing the existing insole with a compatible one.
Machine washing affects appearance
Always use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air drying is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which can damage the materials.
