How Does the Magic Happen? The Technology Explained
The secret behind the "step in and go" ease of Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® lies in a few key design innovations working together:
- An Exclusive Molded Heel Panel: This is the key to the hands-free entry. The panel is expertly designed to maintain its shape, acting like a built-in shoehorn that guides your foot smoothly and effortlessly into place. It’s the innovation that holds the shoe open for you.
- Our Exclusive Heel Pillow™: Once your foot is in, the Heel Pillow™ gets to work. It’s a soft but secure cushion at the back of the shoe that snugs against your heel, locking it comfortably in place to prevent any unwanted slipping. This ensures a secure fit with every confident step.
- A Foundation of Comfort & Support: Of course, it’s still a Skechers shoe. That means the effortless entry is built on a foundation of our proven comfort technologies. Depending on the style, you’ll find our patented Arch Fit® podiatrist-certified support system, responsive Max Cushioning®, and other signature innovations.
It’s this thoughtful combination of features that makes the hands-free experience so smooth and reliable.
