Full details

Designed for women seeking a blend of athletic style and effortless wear, the Skechers BOBS Sport™ Squad 4 - Dire Step trainers offer unparalleled convenience with their Hands Free Slip-ins® technology.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for athletic style and comfort, making them ideal for casual wear, walking, and light training. They are not specifically engineered for high-impact running.

How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?

Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® feature a specially molded heel and an extended heel counter that allows you to slide your foot in without bending down or using your hands.

Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?

No, these trainers feature fixed stretch laces that provide a secure slip-on fit and are not adjustable.

How do I clean my trainers if they get dirty?

The BOBS Sport™ Squad 4 - Dire Step trainers are machine washable. Use a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent and air dry them afterwards.

What is the Heel Pillow®?

The Heel Pillow® is a feature designed to provide a secure, cushioned, and comfortable fit around the heel, preventing slippage and enhancing stability.

Do these trainers support animal welfare causes?

Yes, BOBS® from Skechers® is committed to supporting pets in need, and purchasing these trainers contributes to that mission.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from a Stretch Fit® engineered knit material, designed to offer a sock-like feel and flexible comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or too loose

The Stretch Fit® upper offers a flexible fit. If they feel too tight, wear them with thicker socks initially or ensure they are fully dry before wearing. If too loose, ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cradling your heel. Consider the fixed stretch laces mean there's no adjustability for tightness.

Difficulty slipping foot in initially

Ensure the Heel Pillow® is pulled away from the opening. While designed to be hands-free, a slight guidance with fingertips on the heel tab might be needed initially until the shoe adapts to your foot shape.

Insole not feeling cushioned enough

The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole provides adaptive cushioning. If more support is needed, consider using an after-market insole designed for athletic shoes, ensuring it fits well within the shoe's structure.

Machine washing results in discolored or damaged shoes

Always follow the care instructions precisely. Use cold water, a mild detergent, and a gentle cycle. Air dry only. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat.
