Product Information
Full details
These Skechers Arch Fit Stability trainers are designed for adult women seeking supportive and easy-to-wear athletic footwear for daily activities. The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with Arch Fit technology for enhanced comfort and stability. A potential caveat is that the adjustable laces offer customization but are not the primary fastening mechanism for the slip-in feature. Key features include a vegan construction, engineered mesh upper, and the APMA Seal of Acceptance for podiatric health.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these trainers are not machine washable. Hand washing the insole and spot cleaning the upper with a damp cloth is recommended.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It means the American Podiatric Medical Association has found the product to be beneficial for foot health and suitable for general use.
Can I replace the Arch Fit® insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Are these suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking, light training, and daily comfort. For high-impact running, dedicated running shoes are generally recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit with the slip-in design?
Ensure your heel fully utilizes the Heel Pillow™ and that the laces are adjusted for your comfort. The shoe should feel snug but not tight.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper offers some flexibility. However, for significantly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on in person if possible, or consider models specifically designed for wider widths.
What is the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ is a component of the Skechers Hands-Free Slip-ins® design that provides cushioning and support at the heel, making it easier to slip the shoe on.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the heel is fully cradled by the Heel Pillow™ and that laces are loosened if needed. Try sliding your foot in at a slight angle.
Arch support feels too firm initially
The Arch Fit® insole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Shoes feel loose during activity
While designed for slip-in convenience, the adjustable laces can be tightened for a more secure fit. Ensure they are tied appropriately for your activity level.
Discoloration on mesh upper
Use a mild soap solution and a soft damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive water.
