FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning for walking and everyday comfort, the Skech-Air Summits are not specifically designed for high-impact activities like running. For running, we recommend trainers with a more secure lace-up fit and specialized support.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The design incorporates a padded heel counter (Heel Pillow®) and a specific shape that allows you to slide your foot in without bending down or using your hands. The shoe's structure helps hold your heel in place once your foot is inside.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or replacement insoles if desired.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions. They may offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for rain or wet environments.
What does 'vegan-friendly' mean for these shoes?
Vegan-friendly means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
How should I clean the visible Skech-Air® midsole?
The visible midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes, which could potentially scratch or damage the material.
What is the primary benefit of the Skech-Air® midsole?
The Skech-Air® midsole provides responsive cushioning and shock absorption, enhancing comfort during walking and standing by reducing impact on your feet and joints.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is fully expanded. Gently pull the rear collar or use the integrated heel tab to assist entry. The shoe may require a brief break-in period for the internal cushioning to adapt.
Slightly loose fit
The fixed stretch laces provide a flexible fit, but if a tighter feel is desired, consider adding a thin sock or consult a shoe repair specialist for potential minor adjustments. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Foot odor
Allow shoes to air dry completely between wears. Use odor-absorbing insoles or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Regularly clean the insoles as per care instructions.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. There is no setup required as they feature fixed stretch laces and a slip-on design.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are suitable for general everyday use. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athletic wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the engineered mesh upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the cushioning material.
- Insole Care: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can be lightly spot cleaned if necessary. Ensure the shoe is aired out regularly to maintain freshness.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Avoid machine washing or drying.
- Laces: As the laces are fixed, no special care is needed beyond occasional wiping.
