Full details
The Skechers BOBS Sport™ Skillz - Too Vital trainers are designed for adult women seeking comfortable, casual vegan footwear. Their key benefit lies in the adaptive Stretch Fit® engineered knit upper and cushioned Memory Foam™ insole for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily suited for light activities and casual wear, not high-impact sports. This style features a lace-up front and supports pet welfare through the BOBS® from Skechers® initiative.

What is the BOBS® from Skechers® initiative?

What is the insole made of?

Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon initial wear
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort.
Discoloration on the knit upper
Use a mild soap and a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid over-wetting the material. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
The Memory Foam™ may compress slightly with prolonged use. Gently clean the insole as per care instructions and ensure it dries completely. Consider using a shoe tree to help maintain shape.
Slight odor after wear
Remove the insole and allow both the shoe and insole to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoe overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing.
