FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoe is designed to be put on and taken off without needing to use your hands. The construction, including the Heel Pillow™, allows you to simply step in and out.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are optimized for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not designed for the impact and specific support required for running activities.
How do I clean the knit upper?
The knit upper can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or high-pressure water, which could damage the fabric and internal structure.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
It is a high-rebound insole designed to provide advanced cushioning and enhanced breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. Based on product information, they are available in a UK adult size 8.5. It is always recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible for the best fit.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It signifies that the shoe has been constructed using materials and processes that do not involve any animal products.
How do the Ultra Pillars® benefit the wearer?
The high-rebound Ultra Pillars® are integrated into the midsole and outsole to provide enhanced support, stability, and a responsive feel with every step.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to be flexible. If the shoe feels too tight, ensure your foot is fully seated. If it feels too loose, consider wearing slightly thicker socks or exploring other Skechers models with a more adjustable fit.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure you are using the Heel Pillow™ correctly by sliding your heel fully back. Some users find it helpful to slightly angle their foot. If persistent, try wearing a sock with a smoother inner lining.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
The insoles and midsole are designed for longevity, but cushioning can naturally decrease over time with heavy use. For best results, follow care instructions to maintain material integrity. Consider replacement if the cushioning significantly diminishes.
Insole feels slippery.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for breathability. If you experience slipperiness, particularly with bare feet in warm conditions, this may be due to natural foot moisture. Ensure feet are dry before wearing, or consider moisture-wicking socks.
