Full details

The key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with superior arch support, making them ideal for those on the go. A potential caveat is that while they offer adjustable laces, the primary design is for quick on-and-off wear. Key features include the innovative Heel Pillow, APMA Seal of Acceptance, engineered mesh upper, adjustable laces, and a removable Arch Fit® insole.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking and light activities, the Arch Fit 2.0 - Bold Motion trainers are not specifically designed for high-impact running. They offer good support for casual wear and gym workouts but may lack the specialized features for intense running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to check Skechers' sizing chart and compare your foot measurements. Since these are slip-ins, ensure there's enough room for your foot without being too loose. Reading customer reviews can also provide insights into sizing.
Can I replace the Arch Fit insole?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or a different type of insole if desired.
Are these shoes good for people with plantar fasciitis?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance and the podiatrist-certified Arch Fit® system suggest these shoes can offer beneficial support for many foot conditions, including those that contribute to plantar fasciitis. However, individual results may vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional is always advised.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan construction means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing should be done sparingly to prolong the life of the shoe. Typically, washing them only when they show visible signs of dirt or odor is recommended. Always ensure they are completely dry before wearing.
What is the benefit of the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ provides a secure and comfortable fit around the heel, preventing slippage and adding extra cushioning, contributing to the overall comfort and stability of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces for a more customized fit. If the tightness persists, consider if the shoe is the right size or width for your foot. The removable insole allows for adding thinner insoles if needed.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow is not obstructed. Sometimes, a slight wiggle or pulling the heel tab can help. If the issue persists, ensure you are using the correct size.
Arch support feels too prominent.
The Arch Fit® insole is designed to provide significant support. If it feels uncomfortable, try wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Alternatively, the insole is removable if you prefer to use your own orthotics.
Mesh upper appears dirty after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a fabric stain remover suitable for mesh materials before washing. Always air dry.
