Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Skech-Air Summits Trainers in Black/White are designed for adults seeking effortless, cushioned comfort for everyday wear. Their primary benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with advanced Skech-Air cushioning for superior shock absorption. A potential caveat for some users might be the fixed stretch laces, which offer a secure fit but lack adjustability for personalized tightness. These trainers feature an engineered mesh upper, a supportive Heel Pillow, and an Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, making them a practical choice for those who value both convenience and comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light walking. They are not optimized for running or high-impact sports, lacking the specialized support and structure required for such activities.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and construction. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What does 'Hands-Free Slip-Ins™' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands, thanks to a specially engineered heel structure.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. These trainers are not designed to protect against rain or wet conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers and measure your foot. These trainers feature fixed stretch laces for a snug fit, so ensure the length is correct for your foot.
What is the Skech-Air® midsole?
It's a visible air-cushioned midsole designed to provide excellent shock absorption and a responsive, comfortable feel with every step.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is often removable and can be replaced with compatible insoles if desired for different support or cushioning needs.
Are these shoes available in other colors?
This guide specifically covers the Black/White colorway. Please check the Skechers product catalog or retailer listings for information on other available colors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Due to fixed stretch laces, adjust sock thickness or consider adding a thin insole for a snugger fit. If too loose, thicker socks might help. These shoes are designed for a specific fit and may not suit all foot shapes.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
The cushioning may naturally compress with use. Ensure insoles are clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacing the insoles with a compatible Skechers replacement insole.
Slight odor developing.
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Remove insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out thoroughly. Regular cleaning according to care instructions is also important.
Heel Pillow feels uncomfortable.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the design of the Heel Pillow may not suit your foot's anatomy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply slip them on to wear.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet, compatible with standard sock wear. Suitable for use on most general surfaces for walking and casual wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the cushioning or tread.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade or warp. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Laces: As the laces are fixed, no special care is needed beyond occasional wiping.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
