FAQs
Are the laces adjustable?
No, the laces on these Skechers UNO Glide-Step trainers are decorative and tied-off, part of the slip-on design. They are not functional for tightening or loosening.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and technology.
What is the main benefit of the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®?
The primary benefit is the ability to put on and take off the shoes without bending down or using your hands, offering significant convenience.
How do I clean the Skech-Air® airbag?
The Skech-Air® airbag is part of the midsole. Clean it using the same method as the rest of the midsole: a soft brush or cloth with water and mild soap.
What kind of activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for casual wear, walking, standing for long periods, and everyday activities where comfort and ease of use are prioritized.
Is this model available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, Skechers typically offers various models in a range of colors and sizes. Please check the product line for available options.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ is designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit around the heel, enhancing stability and preventing the shoe from slipping off your foot.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight initially
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the memory foam insole to mold to your foot. The engineered mesh also offers some flexibility.
Difficulty slipping feet in
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow™ and slide your foot forward. The design is intended to be effortless once the technique is mastered.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Try wearing them for a bit longer, or a very small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.
Insole not feeling as cushioned after extended use
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may take time to break in. If the cushioning significantly diminishes, ensure you are following the care instructions to maintain material integrity.
