FAQs
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The sandals feature a specially molded heel that allows you to slide your foot in and out without needing to use your hands. You simply step in, and the supportive heel design helps keep the sandal on your foot.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals have a gore instep strap which offers some flexibility. However, they are designed with a standard width. For very wide feet, the fit might be snug.
What is the benefit of the Skechers Plush Foam® footbed?
The Plush Foam® footbed provides enhanced cushioning and comfort, offering a soft and supportive feel underfoot, which is ideal for all-day wear.
Can these sandals be washed in a machine?
No, these sandals should not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, as detailed in the care instructions.
What does 'BOBS® from Skechers® is committed to saving the lives of pets in need' mean?
This means that Skechers donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of BOBS® products to animal welfare organizations, helping to support shelter animals and adoption initiatives.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of vegan leather, which is a durable and easy-to-clean material that does not use animal products.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
While they offer good comfort for casual walking and everyday wear thanks to the cushioning, they are not specifically designed for strenuous, long-distance athletic walking. For maximum support during extended hikes, consider athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight.
The sandals feature a gore instep strap for some flexibility. Ensure your foot is correctly positioned within the sandal. If the fit is significantly off, consider if a different size or style might be more appropriate.
Heel Pillow® feels uncomfortable.
The Heel Pillow® is designed for support and may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Jute trim appears dirty or worn.
Gently brush the jute with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, lightly dampen a cloth and dab carefully, avoiding excessive moisture. Do not machine wash.
Hands Free Slip-ins® mechanism is stiff.
Ensure there is no debris obstructing the heel area. The mechanism might become stiffer with initial use; try flexing the heel area gently. Avoid forcing the sandal on or off.
