FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for heavy hiking?
They are designed for light trails and casual outdoor activities, but they are not categorized as technical mountain climbing or heavy-duty hiking boots.
Does the Memory Foam insole stay supportive over time?
Memory foam is designed to cushion and contour. While it offers excellent comfort, it may compress slightly with long-term, daily use.
How do I know if the size is right?
The Relaxed Fit provides extra room. If you typically wear a standard fit, your normal size should be fine, but you will notice more width in the toe box compared to traditional trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to clean these by hand. Machine washing can compromise the waterproof bonding and the structure of the suede upper.
Is this shoe breathable despite being waterproof?
Yes, the mesh panels incorporated into the upper allow for some airflow, though they will naturally be less breathable than non-waterproof mesh athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels like it is sliding inside the shoe
The Relaxed Fit design is intentionally roomy. Try tightening the laces more firmly or using an insole insert to take up extra space.
Waterproofing seems less effective
Check for dirt buildup in the stitching. Clean the exterior properly and apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather and synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skechers Oak Canyon - Rydell sneakers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt or mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Because the shoe contains suede, avoid submerging it in water.
- Drying: Always air-dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and the memory foam.
- Maintenance: Use a suede protector spray to maintain the water resistance and appearance of the leather components over time.
- Lacing: Given the relaxed fit, ensure you utilize the eyelets properly to tighten the laces across the midfoot to prevent internal slippage if you have a narrower heel.
