Full details

Their key benefit lies in the hands-free slip-in design, making them exceptionally easy to put on and take off. A potential caveat is that while they offer good cushioning, they are best suited for light activities rather than intense athletic training. This model features a Stretch Fit® knit and synthetic upper, fixed stretch laces, a supportive Heel Pillow®, and a Skechers Memory Foam™ insole for all-day comfort. Furthermore, each purchase contributes to helping pets in need through the BOBS® from Skechers® program.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They offer good cushioning for walking but lack the specialized support and structure required for serious running or high-impact training.

How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?

The design incorporates a specific heel structure that allows you to slide your foot in easily without needing to touch the shoe, thanks to the supportive Heel Pillow® and the shoe's shape.

Can I remove and wash the Memory Foam™ insole?

The insole is typically secured but can often be gently pulled out for spot cleaning. Ensure it is completely air-dried before reinserting to prevent odor and maintain its structure.

What does 'Stretch Fit®' mean?

Stretch Fit® refers to a design that incorporates elasticated materials in the upper, allowing the shoe to stretch and conform to the shape of your foot for a comfortable, sock-like fit.

How do BOBS® from Skechers® help pets?

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of BOBS® products is donated to animal welfare organizations to help save and improve the lives of pets in need.

What is the Heel Pillow®?

The Heel Pillow® is a feature designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit around the heel, enhancing stability and preventing slippage while also contributing to the hands-free slip-in functionality.

Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?

No, the laces on this model are fixed stretch laces designed for slip-on convenience and do not require tying or adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

The Stretch Fit® upper offers some give. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if the fixed laces are not ideal for your foot shape.

Difficulty slipping foot in.

Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully exposed and your heel is positioned correctly. Try wearing thinner socks. The shoes are designed for ease, so significant difficulty may indicate an incorrect size.

Insole feels flat after some wear.

The Memory Foam™ insole is designed to mold to your foot. If it feels significantly compressed, spot clean and allow to air dry fully to regain some loft. For persistent flatness, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for added cushioning.

Upper material shows signs of wear.

For engineered knit, gently clean with a damp cloth. Avoid snagging the material on sharp objects. Minor scuffs on synthetic overlays can often be wiped away.
