Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the proper use, care, and maintenance of your Skechers Men's Vigor 2.0 Serpentine Athletic Training Sneakers. Please read these instructions carefully to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your footwear.

Key Features

• Rubber Sole: Provides durable traction.
• Lace-up Design: Features striped ghillie laces for a secure fit.
• Memory Foam Insole: Offers enhanced cushioning for all-day comfort.
• Shock Absorbing Midsole: Designed to reduce impact during activity.
• Microperforated Side Panels: Enhances breathability and cooling.
• Smooth Leather Upper with Synthetic Overlays: Combines durability with classic athletic style.

Setup and Initial Use

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the sneakers from their packaging. Inspect them for any visible damage or manufacturing defects.
2. First Fit: Try on both shoes with the type of socks you typically wear for athletic activities. Ensure a comfortable fit, with adequate space for your toes and no excessive pressure points. The Memory Foam insole will conform to your foot over time.
3. Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Skechers sneakers.

Cleaning Instructions

• Surface Cleaning: For leather and synthetic uppers, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap, then air-dried.
• Soles: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
• Drying: Always air-dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials. Do not machine wash or machine dry.

Storage

• Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Uncomfortable Fit: Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Memory Foam insole requires a short break-in period to fully conform to your foot. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit. If discomfort persists, consult the size guide or consider a different size.
• Squeaking Noise: A new shoe may sometimes squeak due to friction between components. This often resolves with wear. If it persists, check if the insole is properly seated or try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
• Odor: To prevent odor, ensure shoes are fully dry after use. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprays if necessary. Allow shoes to air out between wears.
• Reduced Traction: Regularly clean the outsole to remove dirt and debris that can reduce grip. If the outsole tread is significantly worn, the shoes may need replacement.
