Product Information
Full details
The Skechers BOBS Sport Arch Fit Elev8 Trainers are designed for adult women seeking comfortable, supportive, and easy-to-wear athletic-inspired footwear. The key benefit is the combination of podiatrist-certified arch support with a convenient slip-on design, perfect for everyday wear and active lifestyles. A potential caveat is that the bungee laces may not offer the same level of adjustability as traditional laces for very specific fits. These trainers feature an engineered knit upper for breathability, a removable Arch Fit® insole for enhanced comfort and support, and a machine washable construction for easy maintenance. The BOBS® commitment to pet adoption adds an ethical dimension to this stylish and practical shoe.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear, walking, and light activities. For high-impact running, a specialized running shoe would be more appropriate.
How do I know if the Arch Fit® insole is right for me?
The Arch Fit® insole provides certified podiatrist support for the arch. If you experience foot fatigue or discomfort in your arch area during normal wear, this feature can be beneficial.
Can I replace the bungee laces with regular laces?
The bungee laces are integrated into the design and are not designed to be replaced with traditional laces.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
It is recommended to machine wash them only when necessary to maintain their longevity and shape. Over-washing can degrade materials over time.
Are these trainers waterproof?

What does 'vegan-friendly' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the bungee laces are fixed, the Arch Fit® insole can be removed to allow for more volume or the insertion of a thinner insole. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Color transfer or staining
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. For stubborn stains, use a mild stain remover specifically designed for footwear. Ensure to air dry.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Arch Fit® insole is removable. Consider replacing the insole with a new one for renewed cushioning and support, or use a preferred alternative insole.
