Full details
The Skechers Billion 2 - Top-Tier Wedge is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable shoe for everyday wear. Its key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, allowing for effortless on and off. A potential caveat is that while it features a Wedge Fit®, it is still a fashion sneaker and may not offer the same support as a dedicated athletic shoe.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they feature cushioned insoles for comfort, they are designed as fashion sneakers. For very long distances or strenuous walking, shoes specifically designed for walking or running might offer better support and cushioning.
How do I clean the metallic parts of the shoe?
Gently wipe the metallic overlays with a slightly damp cloth and a mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially due to the faux leather and metallic components. Hand wash or spot clean as per the care instructions.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
This technology allows you to put on and take off the shoes simply by stepping into them, without needing to bend down or use your hands to guide your foot.
Is the wedge heel significant?
The Wedge Fit® design provides a subtle elevation. It's more about a fashionable silhouette than a significant increase in height.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of duraleather (a synthetic material) with metallic overlays.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insoles are often removable, allowing you to replace them with your preferred insoles if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to slip on initially.
This can happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a short period to allow them to conform to your foot, or gently slide your foot in while wearing socks.
Insole feels less cushioned over time.
Ensure the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is properly seated. If it has been removed, ensure it is fully dry before reinserting. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacement insoles.
Metallic accents appear scuffed or dull.
Gently clean the area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scuffs, a very soft polishing cloth might help restore some shine, but avoid abrasive materials.
Shoes feel slightly loose around the heel.
Ensure your heel is fully seated within the Heel Pillow®. If the issue persists, consider using a thin heel grip insert.
