FAQs
How do Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® work?
The design incorporates a unique heel structure and an internal counter that holds the shoe open, allowing you to slide your foot in easily without bending or using your hands. The Heel Pillow™ then secures your foot.
What is the benefit of the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This insole provides high-rebound cushioning, similar to walking on air, and is designed with perforations to promote airflow, helping to keep your feet cool and dry during wear.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The outsole is co-branded with Goodyear, known for its tire technology. It is engineered for enhanced durability, stability, and improved traction, providing a reliable grip on various surfaces.
Can I wear these for running or intense training?
These trainers are primarily designed for comfort, walking, and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for intense running or highly specialized sports training.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. These shoes are designed for general wear and are not intended for use in wet conditions where waterproofing is required.
How do I clean the black engineered mesh upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a little mild soap to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents, and always allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the difference between Max Cushioning and Glide-Step®?
Max Cushioning refers to the overall level of plush cushioning in the midsole designed for shock absorption. Glide-Step® is a specific technology within the midsole that shapes the cushioning to promote a smoother, more efficient transition from heel strike to toe-off.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug or loose after slipping them on.
Ensure your heel is fully seated against the Heel Pillow™. The engineered mesh and lacing system allow for some adjustment; try lacing them slightly tighter or looser if needed for a personalized fit.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The cushioning is designed for durability, but its responsiveness can be maintained by following the care instructions. Ensure the insole is clean and dry. If significant degradation occurs, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their intended lifespan.
Slipping on wet or uneven surfaces.
While the Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers good grip, always exercise caution on very wet, icy, or unstable surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impair traction.
Heel collar feels stiff or uncomfortable.
The Heel Pillow™ is designed to provide a secure fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply slip them on using the Hands-Free Slip-ins® design.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, suitable for a UK size 11.5. Best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. Not recommended for high-impact or specialized sports requiring rigid support.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the engineered mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush to clean the cushioning and outsole. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
- Insole Care: The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can typically be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the cushioning and structural integrity.
