Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
No, the Skechers BOBS Sport B Flex - Flex Lucy trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for marathon running.
How do I clean the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means the shoes are constructed using only materials that do not contain any animal products or by-products.
How does the Hands Free Slip-in feature work?
The design includes a specially shaped heel counter and collar that allows you to slide your foot in effortlessly without needing to touch or bend down to adjust the shoe.
Can I replace the Memory Foam insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or replacement insoles if desired.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the benefit of the BOBS® commitment?
The BOBS® from Skechers® program helps save the lives of pets in need, meaning a portion of the proceeds from your purchase supports animal welfare organizations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
While the fit is generally consistent, ensure you have selected the correct size. The fixed laces offer limited adjustment. For minor tightness, wearing them for a short period may help them conform to your foot. For looseness, the Heel Pillow™ and slip-on design aim for a secure fit, but consider thicker socks if necessary.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow™. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle. If you have very wide feet, these slip-on styles may require a brief break-in period.
Insole feels flat after extended use.
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole provides cushioning that may compress over time. For extended comfort, consider purchasing compatible replacement insoles designed for trainers.
Mesh upper snagged or torn.
The mesh is designed for breathability but can be susceptible to snags. Avoid contact with sharp objects. Minor snags may not affect performance, but significant tears could compromise the shoe's integrity and breathability.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these trainers are best suited for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not intended for specialized sports requiring advanced support or grip.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the exterior. For the insole, gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
