Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: BOBS Sport™ Skillz - Too Essential trainers are designed for women seeking effortless comfort and style in a casual footwear option. The key benefit is the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature, allowing for easy on-and-off wear without bending. A potential caveat is that the 'too essential' design might be best suited for casual activities rather than high-impact sports, though they do offer memory foam cushioning for everyday support. This vegan slip-on features an engineered knit upper, synthetic overlays, adjustable laces, and a Skechers Memory Foam™ insole, all while supporting pet welfare through the BOBS® from Skechers® initiative.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for walking. They may not provide the necessary support and cushioning for high-impact activities like running.
How do I activate the 'Hands Free' feature?
The 'Hands Free' feature is integrated into the design. You simply slide your foot in, and the Heel Pillow™ helps to hold the shoe securely in place. No hands are needed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered knit upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions and are not designed for heavy rain.
Can the insoles be removed for washing?
In many Skechers models, Memory Foam™ insoles can be removed. Check the interior of the shoe; if they lift out easily, they can be hand washed with mild soap and water and air-dried.
What does 'BOBS® from Skechers®' mean for pet welfare?
BOBS® from Skechers® partners with animal welfare organizations. A portion of the sales from BOBS® products helps support these organizations in their efforts to save and care for pets in need.
Is the sizing standard?
Skechers generally follows standard US sizing. It is recommended to refer to the Skechers size chart for the most accurate fit, especially as foot shapes can vary.
What is the Heel Pillow™?
The Heel Pillow™ is a cushioning component within the collar of the shoe that helps to secure the heel comfortably when slipping the shoe on hands-free.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is properly positioned and try slightly loosening the laces. The 'Hands Free' aspect works best once the shoe has conformed slightly to your foot shape.
Slightly loose fit
Tighten the adjustable laces to achieve a more secure fit. The knit upper is designed to be flexible, so some adjustment may be needed.
Foot odor after wear
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Remove insoles if possible and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Stains on the knit upper
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for knit fabrics, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
