Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Flex Appeal 5.0 - New Thrive is a versatile, vegan-friendly trainer designed for women seeking a balance of athletic performance and everyday comfort. Featuring a breathable mesh upper and signature Air-Cooled Memory Foam cushioning, it is an ideal choice for gym sessions and fitness-focused walking; however, users should note that the flat heel design is optimized for general fitness rather than high-impact stability sports.

FAQs
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
Yes, the Skechers Flex Appeal 5.0 - New Thrive is made from 100% vegan materials.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
These trainers are designed for fitness, gym, and walking. They may lack the specific high-impact support required for long-distance road running.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam components.
Does the memory foam lose its shape?
Like all foam materials, they will compress over time with regular use. Regular rotation of footwear can help extend the life of the cushioning.
Are they true to size?
Skechers typically follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to measure your feet and compare them against the brand's size guide for the most accurate fit.
What is the primary material in the sole?
The sole is a blend of 82% EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) for lightweight cushioning and 18% rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or loose fit
Adjust the lace tension to secure the midfoot and ensure you are wearing the correct athletic sock thickness.
Insole feels compressed after long-term use
Remove the insole to air out between wears and consider using a secondary orthotic insert if additional arch support is needed.
Surface dirt on the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently remove debris; avoid fully immersing the shoes in water.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Skechers trainers remain in optimal condition, utilize a standard lace-up method to secure the midfoot properly. As these are fitness trainers, they are best paired with moisture-wicking athletic socks to enhance breathability. Regarding care, the synthetic upper can be wiped down with a damp cloth if exposed to dirt or dust. Given the Air-Cooled Memory Foam composition, it is recommended to air-dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time.
