It’s the last few minutes before you’re ready to run. Arm pockets? Yes. Hydration pack? Right here. The final step is your shoes. From unwieldy laces to heels that keep folding over, your pre-run footwear fight is getting old fast.
Hands-free running shoes are the solution. With Skechers AERO Series Slip-ins®, morning runs, afternoon adventures, or evening jogs can be hassle-free. Our collection of easy running shoes blends convenience and performance, saving you time and effort but never compromising on comfort.
Our guide unveils the technology behind the fit, explains the AERO models, and looks at how performance technologies add unparalleled comfort and security to your fitness routine.
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. An ill-fitting pair could also lead to foot fatigue and discomfort. Designed for runners of all levels, hands-free technology is a game-changer in running convenience. The seamless use and comfortable stretch support your feet in all the right places.
Step into our hands-free footwear, carefully fine-tuned with input from runners and other athletes. Our running shoe engineering starts with a stretchable heel that stays in place while allowing for easy on/off convenience. Wearing Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins®, you can reach new milestones with less friction, more comfort, and a locked-in fit that lasts as long as you do.The Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® Difference
Hands-Free Slip-ins® are a runner’s best friend. Thanks to performance benefits like a minimized interior, you can hit the trails without extra bulk. Enjoy greater bursts of speed and frictionless movement as you weave around fence posts and push across uneven terrain.
Our exclusive Heel Pillow™ is designed for comfort and a flexible but secure hold, giving a locked-in feel wherever you run without the need for laces. Enhanced stability drives our high-performance heel counter, propelling you across tree-lined park paths, over suspension bridges, or up to those breathtaking mountain summits.
Get your best run in with Skechers Slip-ins® technology for premium comfort, a secure fit, and hassle-free movement. Before heading outdoors, slide your feet effortlessly into pillowed support and get ready to focus on your stride, not your shoes.
