FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear, offering excellent comfort and support for those activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The trainers should fit snugly but comfortably without any pressure points. Your heel should feel secure within the Heel Pillow™, and your toes should have room to move freely. Refer to Skechers sizing charts for accurate measurements.
Can I wear these trainers without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed to be comfortable against the foot, and the breathable materials make them suitable for sockless wear.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed so you can slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands to help put them on, thanks to the Heel Pillow™ and flexible upper.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
It's recommended to machine wash them only when they appear visibly dirty or if odor becomes an issue. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning and materials.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® cushioning and Ultra Pillars®?
ULTRA GO® is the primary lightweight and responsive cushioning foam throughout the midsole, providing overall shock absorption. Ultra Pillars® are specific pods underfoot that offer enhanced stability and a higher level of rebound and support where needed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They feature breathable knit uppers and are designed for comfort in dry conditions. They are water-resistant to a degree but should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While designed for a slip-on fit, slight adjustments can be made by ensuring socks are not too thick or thin. If the fit remains problematic, consider if the size is correct for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. To restore some feel, ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. Washing according to care instructions can help refresh the materials.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ area is not obstructed. For first-time use, the Heel Pillow™ might feel snug; gently push your foot forward to allow it to settle. Wearing thin socks can also help.
Foot odor after wear
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for breathability. To combat odor, ensure the shoes are aired out after each use. Machine washing them periodically can also help eliminate odors.
