FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are designed primarily for walking, light exercise, and daily activewear rather than long-distance running.

Are these trainers vegan?

Yes, the Skechers Flex Appeal 5.0 - New Thrive is made using 100% vegan-friendly materials.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

While often machine washable, hand washing is recommended to preserve the shape and cushioning properties of the foam.

Do these provide good arch support?

They offer standard comfort cushioning, but they are not categorized as orthopedic shoes with high arch support.

What is the primary material of the sole?

The sole is crafted from EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), which is known for being lightweight and flexible.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Skechers generally fit true to size for most women, but using the provided UK sizing chart is recommended for accuracy.

Troubleshooting

Insoles feel compressed over time

Remove the insoles to air them out or consider replacing them with aftermarket inserts if more arch support is needed.

Exterior mesh getting dirty

Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush and mild detergent, then wipe away any excess soap and let them air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Skechers trainers last, follow these care instructions. Ensure the lace-up closure is adjusted so the shoe feels snug but not restrictive across the instep. For cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soap and warm water to spot clean the mesh; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the fabric. While many Skechers models are machine washable, it is recommended to air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to maintain the structural integrity of the memory foam and EVA sole.
