FAQs
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the Arch Fit insole system is fully removable, allowing for cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics.
Are these sneakers machine washable?
While the shoes are durable, it is recommended to hand wash them to protect the structural integrity of the arch support system and the mesh upper.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, these sneakers are designed to standard UK sizing, though the mesh upper provides a slightly more accommodating fit than stiff leather shoes.
Can I use these for running?
These shoes are engineered primarily for walking and all-day casual wear, not for high-impact running or intense athletic training.
Does the Arch Fit system work for flat feet?
The Arch Fit insole is designed to provide support for various arch types by distributing pressure, which many users with flat feet find beneficial.
How high is the heel on this model?
This specific model features a 1 1/2-inch heel height.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels too high or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods over the first week to allow the insole to contour to your foot shape.
Mesh upper shows signs of dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot clean the mesh material.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction athletic laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Skechers Arch Fit sneakers, start by ensuring the laces are tied for a snug but non-restrictive fit. These shoes are compatible with standard foot shapes; however, the removable insole can be swapped out if you have custom orthotics. For care, keep the mesh upper clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them fully in water or using harsh detergents. If the insoles become dirty, remove them and hand wash them with mild soap, allowing them to air dry completely before reinserting into the shoe.
