FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not recommended for high-impact activities like running, which require specialized footwear for adequate support and cushioning.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes feature a supportive Heel Pillow® that maintains the shoe's shape, allowing you to slide your foot in effortlessly without needing to touch the shoe. The design ensures the shoe stays securely on your foot once worn.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing or drying is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and allow them to air dry.
What does 'Stretch Fit®' mean?
Stretch Fit® refers to the engineered knit upper that is designed to stretch and move with your foot, providing a comfortable, sock-like fit.
What is the benefit of the Skechers Memory Foam™ insole?
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole molds to your foot to provide enhanced cushioning and comfort, relieving pressure points and offering support throughout the day.
Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?

How do BOBS® from Skechers® contribute to animal welfare?
BOBS® from Skechers® is committed to helping animals in need. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of BOBS® products goes towards supporting animal rescue organizations and adoption programs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot. Avoid wearing them outdoors until they feel comfortable.
Difficulty slipping shoes on.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully extended. Try using a shoe horn if needed, though the design aims for hands-free use. Make sure your foot is sliding in smoothly and not catching on the heel.
Insole feels less cushioned over time.
The Memory Foam™ may compress slightly with regular use. Ensure the insoles are clean and dry, as moisture can affect cushioning. For significantly reduced cushioning, consider replacement insoles designed for athletic shoes.
Slight odor developing.
Ensure shoes are aired out after each wear and not stored while damp. Use a fabric refresher spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning according to care instructions will also help.
