FAQs
What makes the Skechers Slip-ins® design unique?
The unique design allows you to put on the shoes completely hands-free, using a specially engineered heel structure and a supportive Heel Pillow® that cradles your foot.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution and rinse carefully. Always air dry.
Is this shoe suitable for running marathons?
While offering excellent cushioning for comfort, these trainers are best suited for walking, casual wear, and light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with specific performance features are recommended.
How does the Glide-Step® technology benefit my stride?
Glide-Step® technology utilizes a geometrically designed midsole that promotes a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, contributing to a more efficient and comfortable walking experience.
Can I replace the existing insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed for additional support or fit.
What is the primary advantage of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed to provide enhanced durability, stability, and superior traction, ensuring a secure grip on a variety of surfaces.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions; avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after slipping them on.
Adjust the laces to a tighter setting before or after slipping them on to achieve a more secure fit. Ensure your heel is fully seated in the Heel Pillow®.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
The cushioning may naturally compact with extensive use. Ensure the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is clean and properly seated. Consider replacing the insole if significant wear is apparent.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the Goodyear® Outsole provides good traction, always exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the laces are loosened considerably. The Heel Pillow® design is meant to assist entry; if it feels stiff, try wiggling your foot gently. Over time, the shoe will mold to your foot.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly. Allow to air dry completely.
- 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.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole with a brush to remove any debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these sneakers as it can damage the cushioning and structural integrity.
