Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Academy HI - Elevated Essence trainers are designed for adult females seeking a blend of classic court style and enhanced comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the supportive, cushioned insole and stylish platform design. A potential consideration is that the suede upper requires specific care to maintain its appearance. These trainers feature a genuine pigskin suede upper, metallic S-heart and mustache details, a platform gum midsole, and Skechers' Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for strenuous exercise.

How do I clean the metallic S-heart detail?

Gently wipe the metallic details with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which could scratch or damage the finish.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear the suede upper in wet conditions as it can cause permanent staining and damage to the material. Protect them from moisture.

What is the main benefit of the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole provides superior cushioning and helps to wick away moisture, keeping your feet comfortable and cool throughout the day.

What is the difference between the 'Academy HI' and 'Academy HI - Elevated Essence' models?

The 'Elevated Essence' variant typically refers to specific colorways and detailing, such as the metallic S-heart and mustache, while maintaining the core platform and comfort features of the Academy HI line.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the product's size chart for Skechers. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart for the most accurate sizing. This model is listed in UK adult sizes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently buff out scuffs. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and follow the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Fit feels too tight or loose

Adjust the laces to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the best comfort and fit.

Insole feels uncomfortable

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed to conform to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, ensure the insole is properly seated. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks as needed.

Tread is wearing down

This is normal wear and tear. For extensive wear, consider professional shoe repair for sole replacement if the trainer is otherwise in good condition. However, these are primarily casual shoes and may need replacement after significant use.

  • Comfortable cushioning provided by the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole.

  • Adjustable lace-up closure for a secure fit.
  • Metallic details add a unique aesthetic touch.

Cons

  • Suede upper requires careful maintenance and is susceptible to water damage.
  • Platform sole may not be suitable for activities requiring extreme flexibility.
  • May run narrower than some other trainer styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Upper: To maintain the appearance of the pigskin suede, avoid wearing them in wet conditions. Clean gently with a soft brush designed for suede. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Do not machine wash.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the gum midsole and outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Insole: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can typically be removed for spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
