Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for general comfort and light activity, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes for competitive marathons. For such activities, consider specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing the shoes again to prevent odor and maintain comfort.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
Yes, the shoes feature adjustable laces that allow you to customize the fit for added security and comfort, even though the primary design is for hands-free slip-on access.
What is the primary benefit of the Hands-Free Slip-ins® design?
The Hands-Free Slip-ins® design allows you to put on and take off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands, making them exceptionally convenient.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is engineered for enhanced durability, providing reliable traction and stability for everyday wear and light athletic activities.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel tab is fully extended. Loosen the laces slightly to create more opening. For a tighter fit, once on, adjust the laces.
Insole feels uncomfortable or too firm/soft
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for specific cushioning. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the shoe's cushioning level meets your personal preference. Note that break-in time can vary.
Slipping sensation on smooth surfaces
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole provides traction, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slick conditions, extra caution is advised.
Upper material appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the engineered mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a soft brush might be used carefully. Always rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
