Full details
The Skechers Slip-ins RF: Garner - Newick is designed for adults seeking effortless comfort and a relaxed fit. Its key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design, allowing for quick on and off, ideal for those who value convenience. A potential caveat is that the stretch-laced design may not offer the same secure fit as traditional lace-up shoes for highly dynamic activities. This model features a synthetic and mesh upper, a charcoal-infused Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, and Goga Mat Arch™ cushioning for enhanced support, making it suitable for everyday wear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
These shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and comfort. While they offer good cushioning, the hands-free slip-in design and stretch laces may not provide the secure fit required for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic activities.
How do I clean the mesh and synthetic upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For stains, a small amount of mild soap mixed with water can be applied with the cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable and can be replaced with your preferred insoles if needed. Ensure any replacement insoles are also suitable for casual wear and provide appropriate cushioning.
Are the laces adjustable?
No, the laces on this model are stretch laces and are decorative. They are designed to maintain the slip-in functionality and do not offer adjustable tightness.
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?
Relaxed Fit® indicates that the shoe offers a roomier fit, particularly in the toe and forefoot area, compared to standard fit shoes. This provides enhanced comfort for individuals who prefer a less constricting feel.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash Skechers shoes, especially those with memory foam insoles and synthetic/mesh uppers, as it can damage the materials and affect the cushioning. Hand washing and air drying is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a key component of the Slip-ins® design. It provides a comfortable, padded collar around the heel that helps the shoe maintain its shape and allows for easy, hands-free slipping on and off.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure your heel is properly positioned and try sliding your foot in smoothly. The Heel Pillow® design may require a slight break-in period. You can also try slightly widening the collar with your hands.
Insole feels uncomfortable or bunched up
Remove the insole and re-insert it, ensuring it lies flat. Check if the size is correct for your foot. If the discomfort persists, consider an alternative insole designed for added arch support or cushioning.
Shoes feel too loose or lack support
While designed for a relaxed fit, if the shoes feel significantly loose, they might not be the best fit for your foot shape or intended activity. The stretch laces do not provide adjustable tightness. Consider trying a half-size smaller if available or a different Skechers model with traditional lacing.
Slight odor developing
The charcoal-infused insole helps reduce odor. Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly. If odor persists, remove the insole, hand wash it with mild soap and cold water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Skechers Slip-ins:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the synthetic and mesh materials. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cold water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure the insole is fully dry before reinserting to prevent odors.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them loosely with newspaper or a clean towel to absorb excess moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the materials and color.
