Full details
The Skechers BOBS Sport Arch Fit Elev8 trainers are designed for adult females seeking everyday comfort and support with a charitable component. Their key benefit is the combination of a supportive Arch Fit® insole and a casual, easy-on design, with a minor consideration being the fixed stretch laces which offer less adjustability. These trainers feature an engineered knit upper, a metallic heel clip for style, and a commitment by BOBS® from Skechers® to support pets in need.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual wear, featuring Arch Fit® support. For high-impact activities like running, specific running shoes with advanced cushioning and stability features are recommended.
Can I remove the Arch Fit® insole?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is designed to be removable, allowing for easy cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics if needed.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without pinching.
What does the BOBS® commitment mean?
BOBS® from Skechers® partners with animal welfare organizations. Purchasing these trainers contributes to their efforts to help save the lives of pets in need.
Are the stretch laces adjustable?
The stretch laces are fixed and are primarily for aesthetic purposes and to aid in the slip-on design. They do not offer significant adjustability like traditional laces.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and the Arch Fit® insole. Spot cleaning and hand washing specific parts are the preferred methods.
What is the main benefit of the Arch Fit® insole?
The Arch Fit® insole is podiatrist-certified, providing enhanced support and comfort to your arch, which can help distribute pressure and improve foot alignment for all-day wear.
Troubleshooting
Reduced Arch Support
Ensure the Arch Fit® insole is properly seated. If the insole is worn, consider replacing it with a new Skechers Arch Fit® insole.
Discomfort from Fixed Laces
While the laces are fixed, ensure the shoe is the correct size. If it feels too tight, try gently stretching the knit upper in that area over time. For significant tightness, consider alternative lacing systems if you are comfortable modifying them, though this is not officially recommended.
Knit Upper Stains
Address stains immediately with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
