The Concept of Hands-Free Running
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by traditional running shoes, you’re not alone. Full of friction points and often frustrating to put on, lace-ups can put a damper on your run. Available in styles for every type of runner, our signature Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins technology is a game-changer in running convenience. The seamless use and comfortable stretch support your feet in all the right places.
The Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® Difference
Skechers Slip-ins® make every day easier and we’ve adapted the design specifically for the needs of runners. It features minimized material on the interior to reduce weight and limit friction against the foot to create a seamless and unnoticeable experience for the runner. The heel counter is also constructed with a premium high-performing material, offering runners enhanced stability and a more secure locked-in feel compared to the traditional lace-up design.
Just like the lace-up versions, these styles deliver a fusion of performance innovations to elevate comfort, promote smooth transitions, and propel you forward through every stride. Each style still includes laces to customize the perfect fit. After adjusting, you can just step in and run without touching the laces again.

Skechers Core Performance Technologies
Along with our customer-approved Slip-ins® technology with a heel-cradling pillow and stretch-with-you comfort, Skechers AERO Series collections are fueled by core performance technologies. Innovative engineering will make them your new favorites for running footwear:
- Skechers HYPER ARC® technology: This rocker technology keeps your stride balanced and adapts as you run. Rolling your foot forward helps reduce the impact on joints and boosts performance.
- Carbon-Infused H-Plate: Found in the midsole, these ultra-durable H-plates create exceptional stability for high-endurance runs. They're carbon-infused for power and help drive stability across surfaces.
- HYPER BURST ICE™ midsole: Deep foam cushioning is ultra-lightweight with optimal responsiveness and pillowy comfort.
- Skechers Arch Fit® insole: Our podiatrist-certified arch support system molds to your foot and redistributes pressure for a comfortable run. Arch Fit® removable insoles are also machine washable.
Goodyear® Performance Outsoles: Dependable traction keeps you moving forward regardless of the terrain. Our Goodyear® outsole grips the trails with enhanced stability, and the soybean-oil-infused rubber flexes in any weather conditions.
