FAQs
Are these shoes truly slip-on?
Yes, they feature Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology with a specialized Heel Pillow® for easy on and off without needing to bend down.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer good cushioning, they are specifically designed for court sports like pickleball, padel, and tennis. Their outsole is optimized for court traction and may not be ideal or durable for running.
How do I clean my Viper Court Reload trainers?
They are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air dry completely. Do not use a dryer.
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?
Relaxed Fit® indicates a roomier fit in the toe box and forefoot compared to standard athletic shoes, providing extra comfort without compromising stability.
What is the benefit of the Arch Fit® insole?
The Arch Fit® insole provides podiatrist-certified arch support, designed to help reduce shock and enhance stability for improved comfort and foot health.
Are these shoes suitable for all court surfaces?
They are optimized for outdoor pickleball, padel, and tennis courts, featuring a Goodyear® Rubber outsole for durability and control on these specific surfaces.
What is the APMA Seal of Acceptance?
It signifies that the shoes have been reviewed by the American Podiatric Medical Association and found to be beneficial for foot health and comfortable for extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping feet in
Ensure the heel is fully pushed down. Loosen the laces slightly to create more room. Try wearing thinner socks.
Shoes feel too loose or wide
Tighten the laces to achieve a more secure fit. Consider adding a thicker sock or an additional insole if the Relaxed Fit® is too accommodating.
Traction seems low on non-court surfaces
This is expected as the Goodyear® outsole is optimized for courts. Limit use on pavement or other rough surfaces to preserve tread and avoid premature wear.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period of a few wearings. The Arch Fit® insole and ULTRA FLIGHT® cushioning will adapt to your foot shape over time.
Odor after use
Remove insoles and air dry shoes thoroughly after each use. Consider using anti-odor sprays or inserting cedar shoe trees. Machine washing as per care instructions can also help.
