FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning are recommended.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size chart and consider your usual UK shoe size. The Slip-ins design should provide a snug yet easy fit. If unsure, consider the next size up for a slightly looser feel, or consult reviews for fit feedback.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is designed for comfort against the foot, making them suitable for sockless wear, especially in warmer weather.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the trainers are made entirely without animal-derived materials or by-products.
How often should I wash these trainers?
It's best to wash them only when necessary, such as after significant dirt accumulation or odor. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning and materials.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal feature designed to enhance comfort and provide a secure, cradled fit for your heel, preventing slippage and adding a plush feel.
Can I use these for hiking?
These trainers are best suited for paved surfaces and light trails. For rugged terrain or serious hiking, footwear with more robust soles and ankle support would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially.
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet. This is common with new shoes, especially those with supportive features like the Heel Pillow®.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly within the Heel Pillow® and that the shoe is fully open. Sometimes a slight wiggle or tug on the heel tab can assist.
Uneven cushioning or feel.
Check if the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is correctly positioned. If it has shifted, remove it and reinsert it evenly.
Machine wash results in diminished cushioning.
Always use cold water and a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents and always air dry. Excessive heat can damage the cushioning materials.
