FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands Free'?
The 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' design features a uniquely structured heel that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on.
How do I adjust the fit?
While the shoe is designed for slip-in ease, it includes adjustable laces. You can tie them once for your preferred snugness and then use the slip-in mechanism for subsequent wears.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are best suited for walking, everyday wear, and light training due to their emphasis on cushioning and comfort. For intense or long-distance running, a specialized running shoe might be more appropriate.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® outsole provides superior traction, stability, and enhanced durability compared to standard rubber outsoles, offering better grip on various surfaces.
How does the Max Cushioning midsole differ from standard cushioning?
The Max Cushioning midsole is designed to offer a significantly higher level of shock absorption and plush comfort, making it ideal for users who prioritize a very soft and supportive feel underfoot.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from a 3D print monomesh, which is designed to be lightweight and breathable.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure laces are loosened adequately before attempting to slip your foot in. Verify you are using the correct size.
Slight heel slippage
Tighten the adjustable laces for a more secure fit around the ankle and midfoot. The Heel Pillow® should provide a snug feel.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning may compress slightly with extended use. Ensure the insole is properly seated and clean. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to prolong the lifespan of the cushioning.
Outsole traction feels diminished
Clean the outsole grooves of any debris or mud. The Goodyear® outsole is durable, but heavy contamination can affect grip.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Designed for use on various surfaces including pavement, indoor gym floors, and light trails. Not intended for highly aggressive athletic pursuits or extreme weather conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the upper and outsole. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
