Full details

FAQs
What makes these shoes 'Hands Free'?
The 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' design includes a specially molded heel that allows you to slide your foot in without bending down or using your hands to pull the shoe on.
How do I clean my Skechers BOBS Squad 4 trainers?
You can spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or fully submerging them in water.
What is the benefit of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit around the heel, preventing the shoe from slipping off and adding extra cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for athletic-inspired style and comfort for everyday wear and light activities. They may not provide the necessary support and cushioning for intense running or high-impact sports.
What does the BOBS® from Skechers® commitment mean?
It means that Skechers donates a portion of its profits to animal welfare organizations to help save and improve the lives of pets.
Can I replace the Memory Foam insole?
While not designed for removal, if necessary, the insole might be carefully pried out. However, this could affect the shoe's fit and structure, and is not generally recommended.
What is the purpose of the fixed stretch laces?
The fixed stretch laces are part of the slip-on design, providing a secure fit without the need for tying and contributing to the shoe's sporty aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Due to the Stretch Fit® upper and fixed laces, precise adjustments are limited. Consider if the size is correct for your foot width. If slightly snug, wearing thinner socks or allowing a short break-in period might help. If significantly loose, the fit may not be suitable.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being pushed down. Some users find it helpful to slightly wiggle their foot in or ensure they are standing when putting them on. The "Hands Free" aspect is designed for ease, but a snug fit can require a moment.
Insole feels different than expected.
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole contours to your foot over time. Initial wear may feel different from traditional insoles. If discomfort persists after a few wears, ensure the size is correct.
