Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Summits Trainers are designed for active women who prioritize comfort and ease of use in their daily footwear. Featuring a signature memory foam insole and a convenient slip-on design, these shoes offer exceptional support for walking and light athletic activities. While the flexible mesh knit is incredibly breathable and comfortable, potential users should note that the bungee-laced system is fixed, meaning it does not allow for traditional tightness adjustments found in standard tie-up sneakers.

FAQs
Can I replace the bungee laces with regular ones?
The bungee laces are integrated into the design. While you could technically cut them to install standard laces, it is not recommended as it may damage the structure of the upper.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking, light gym work, and casual wear, not for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Skechers generally follow standard sizing; your toes should have a small amount of wiggle room, and your heel should not slip out while walking.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are made of a breathable mesh knit and are not waterproof or water-resistant.
Is the insole removable?
In most Summits models, the memory foam insole is lightly glued down. It is not designed to be swapped out for custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels slightly loose on the foot
Since the bungee laces are fixed, try using a slightly thicker sock to improve the overall fit and snugness.
Dirt stuck in the mesh material
Allow the mud to dry completely and then use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove the debris before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed to be worn immediately out of the box with no break-in period required due to the soft mesh construction. To ensure longevity, keep the following care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the mesh upper.
- Avoid Immersion: While some Skechers are machine washable, it is recommended to hand wash to preserve the integrity of the memory foam.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature; do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the foam and damage the adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or losing elasticity.
