How does the hands-free heel work?

A stiff panel at the back of the heel holds its shape so your foot slides in without crushing it. You step down and the heel settles around your foot; no bending or shoehorn needed.

How does the Relaxed Fit sizing run?

Relaxed Fit is Skechers' roomier last, with extra space through the toe box and instep. People with narrow or low-volume feet often size down or find the fit loose.

Can I wear these for long walks?

They work for errands, travel and light walking thanks to the foam midsole and cushioned insole. For long distances or uneven ground, a walking shoe with more structure and arch support is the better choice.

Are they good for wide feet?

Yes. The Relaxed Fit last and soft canvas upper accommodate wide feet and high insteps well. Narrow-footed wearers are the ones most likely to find them sloppy.

How do they compare with Skechers' other slip-ins?

The Hasting uses a canvas upper and a casual loafer shape, so it is lighter and more breathable than the leather and knit slip-ins in the line. It offers less structure and polish than those models.

How do I clean the canvas upper?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, which can warp the heel panel and midsole.
