Skechers Arch Fit Arcade - Arcata - Navy Blue - Size 5.5

The laces on the Skechers Arch Fit® Arcade - Arcata are decorative and not designed for adjusting the fit. The shoe relies on its construction and the insole for support and fit.

The canvas upper is not waterproof and may not perform well in wet conditions. It is best to wear these sneakers in dry weather or carry a more water-resistant pair of shoes for wet days.

The Arch Fit® insole is podiatrist-certified for support. It's designed to cradle your arch and improve weight distribution. If you experience foot fatigue or discomfort in your arches, this system may be beneficial. Trying them on or wearing them for short periods is the best way to assess comfort.

The primary benefit is enhanced, long-lasting comfort and support for your feet, particularly for the arch area, which helps to reduce fatigue and improve walking stability.

Clean your sneakers as needed, especially after significant wear or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.

It is not recommended to machine wash Skechers Arch Fit® Arcade - Arcata sneakers. Hand washing the upper and air drying is the preferred method to preserve the shoe's structure and materials.

Decorative laces are integrated into the design for aesthetic purposes and do not function to tighten or loosen the shoe. The fit is primarily determined by the shoe's construction and the wearer's foot shape.

While laces are decorative, ensure the internal structure isn't constricted. If the shoe feels too loose, consider adding a slightly thicker sock or a gel heel grip. If too tight, ensure the insole is properly seated and try walking in them for a short period to allow materials to flex.

The Arch Fit® insole is designed for specific arch support. It may take a few wears to adjust. If discomfort persists, try wearing the shoes for shorter durations initially or consider replacing the insole with a different type.

Gently clean with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn stains, a specialized canvas cleaner might be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

While designed for traction, some surfaces can be challenging. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If slippage is a persistent issue on specific surfaces, consider a product designed to add grip to shoe soles.
