A potential caveat is that the 'relaxed fit' might be too roomy for those with very narrow feet.

FAQs
How do Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes are designed with a specific heel structure and reinforcement that allows you to slip your foot in without needing to touch the shoe or bend over. The Heel Pillow® helps to hold your foot securely in place once it's on.
What is the benefit of the Relaxed Fit® design?
Relaxed Fit® provides a roomier fit in the toe and forefoot areas compared to a standard fit, offering enhanced comfort for those who prefer a less constrictive feel, especially during long periods of wear.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Relaxed Fit® design generally accommodates wider feet well in the toe and forefoot. However, individuals with extremely wide heels might find them less secure due to the Slip-ins® nature.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap, followed by air drying.
What kind of traction does the outsole provide?
The outsole is made of Goodyear® rubber, which is known for its durability and ability to provide excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces.
Are the laces adjustable?
No, the shoes feature fixed stretch laces that maintain a snug fit without requiring manual adjustment.
What is the purpose of the charcoal-infused insole?
The charcoal infusion in the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole helps to reduce odor by absorbing moisture and inhibiting bacterial growth, contributing to a fresher feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off
Ensure your heel is properly seated against the Heel Pillow®. If the issue persists, the Relaxed Fit® may be too accommodating for your foot shape. Consider trying a half-size down if available or adding a thin insole for a snugger fit.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
While designed for hands-free entry, ensure your foot is angled correctly and slides smoothly. Sometimes, slight foot repositioning can help. The shoe may also require a short break-in period.
Insole feels uncomfortable or lacks support
The shoe features Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® and Memory Arch cushioning. If additional support is needed, consider using a third-party orthotic insole, though this may affect the 'relaxed fit' and ease of slip-on.
Outer material appears dirty
Gently wipe the engineered mesh and faux leather with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow to air dry completely.
