Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Max Cushioning® Glide-Step® - Sapphire trainers are designed for adult males seeking ultimate comfort and effortless wear. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with advanced cushioning for all-day support. A potential caveat is that while adjustable, the primary design is slip-on, which may not suit those requiring a very secure, traditional lace-up fit for high-intensity activities. These trainers feature a breathable monomesh upper, Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, Goodyear® Performance Outsole, and Glide-Step® cushioning for enhanced energy return and smooth transitions.

FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed with Max Cushioning and Glide-Step® for comfort during walking and light training. For serious running, a shoe specifically engineered for running dynamics may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the monomesh upper?
Use a soft damp cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed, then wipe clean and air dry.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® as it can damage the cushioning, materials, and the slip-in mechanism. Hand washing and air drying is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® partnership ensures enhanced durability, stability, and superior traction compared to standard outsoles, providing reliable grip on various surfaces.
How does the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature work?
The shoe is designed with a specific heel shape and structure that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands. The Heel Pillow® helps secure your foot once inside.
What size should I get if I'm usually a UK 7.5?
Sizing can vary slightly. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the larger size for comfort, especially with slip-on styles. Refer to Skechers' official size chart for precise measurements.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The monomesh upper is breathable and not waterproof. These trainers are designed for comfort in dry conditions and are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping shoe on initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is flexible. Gently pull the heel tab. The shoe may loosen slightly with continued wear.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Clean the insoles and allow them to fully air dry. If cushioning is permanently degraded, consider replacing the insoles.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Goodyear® outsole is clean and free from debris. The outsole is designed for durability and good traction, but always exercise caution on very wet or slippery conditions.
Foot feels unstable during quick movements
Tighten the adjustable laces for a more secure fit. For high-impact or agility-focused activities, consider a shoe designed with more rigid support.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the monomesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Insoles: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can often be removed for separate cleaning (check specific shoe instructions). Allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
