Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Ultra Flex 3.0 - Elevated Motion trainers are designed for adults seeking effortless comfort and style in their everyday footwear. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with a highly cushioned insole for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that the Stretch Fit® upper, while comfortable, may offer less structure than traditional lace-up shoes. This model features a unique slip-in fit, a breathable Stretch Fit® knit upper, decorative laces, and a supportive Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole, making them ideal for easy on-and-off and prolonged comfort.

FAQs
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The design includes a unique heel cushion and an extended heel tab that help to keep the shoe open, allowing your foot to slide in easily without bending or touching the shoe.
Can I replace the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
Yes, the insole is typically designed to be removable, allowing you to replace it with your own orthotics or a new pair of insoles if desired.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for comfort and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for intense running activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a little room at the toe, but your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively. The Stretch Fit® upper will adapt, but the overall length and width should feel comfortable from the start.
What is the difference between Stretch Fit® and regular knit uppers?
Stretch Fit® uppers are designed to have more inherent stretch and flexibility, adapting more like a sock for a personalized fit. Regular knit uppers may offer varying degrees of stretch but often provide a more structured feel.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The knit upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to water may affect the material and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel counter is fully open. You may need to slightly widen the opening with your hands the first few times. Ensure your socks are not too thick.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if the shoe's fit is suitable for your foot shape. The insole may be removable to allow for a custom orthotic if needed.
Shoes feel too loose
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed for flexibility. If the shoe feels too loose, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. For very narrow feet, consider trying a different Skechers model with a more structured fit or traditional lacing.
Fraying on the knit upper
Trim any small loose threads carefully with scissors. Avoid snagging the knit material on rough surfaces.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole can often be removed. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a little soap if needed.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Machine Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can compromise the adhesives and materials. Spot cleaning or hand washing is preferred.
