Product Information
Full details
These Skechers BOBS Sport™ Squad 4 - Dire Step trainers are designed for adult women seeking athletic style and effortless comfort for daily wear. The key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, allowing for easy on-and-off without bending. A potential consideration is that they are designed for athletic or casual wear and may not be suitable for highly technical athletic pursuits. Key features include a supportive Heel Pillow®, Stretch Fit® engineered knit upper, fixed stretch laces, and a cushioned Memory Foam™ insole. This model is also machine washable, adding to its practicality. A portion of the proceeds from BOBS® from Skechers® goes towards saving pets in need.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for athletic style and comfort, making them ideal for casual wear, walking, and light workouts. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning technology would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers for accurate measurements. The Stretch Fit® upper offers some flexibility, but it's important to start with the correct UK size. The Heel Pillow® should help secure your foot comfortably.
Can I replace the insole?
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole is integrated into the shoe and is not designed to be removable or replaceable in this model.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put the shoes on and take them off simply by stepping into them or sliding your foot out, without needing to bend down or use your hands to adjust them.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Only wash them when they appear dirty or need freshening up. Frequent washing may reduce the lifespan of the materials and cushioning. Always air dry.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®' feature?
The Heel Pillow® is a soft, cushioned element integrated into the heel collar of the shoe designed to provide a snug, secure, and comfortable fit around the ankle and heel area.
Do the stretch laces actually stretch?
The laces are made of a stretchable material to provide a snug fit without needing to be tied. They are fixed and not adjustable in length.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Since the laces are fixed, the fit is primarily determined by the Stretch Fit® upper and Heel Pillow®. If the shoe feels too tight, try wearing thinner socks or stretching the shoe by wearing it around the house. If it feels too loose, ensure the heel is fully seated in the Heel Pillow® or consider wearing thicker socks.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the back of the shoe is fully accessible. For the first few wears, it might feel slightly snug as the shoe molds to your foot. Use the Heel Pillow® tab to help guide your foot in. Avoid forcing your foot in, as this can damage the shoe's structure.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole may compress with extensive use. While not replaceable in this model, the machine washable nature allows for cleaning which can sometimes revive the feel of the cushioning. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacement.
Fraying on the knit upper
Be mindful of abrasive surfaces. If minor fraying occurs, trim loose threads carefully with scissors. Avoid snagging the knit on sharp objects.
