Product Information

Full details

The Skechers BOBS Skillz Too Essential Trainers are designed for adult women seeking effortless comfort and versatile style for an active lifestyle. Their hands-free slip-in design, coupled with Heel Pillow technology, provides secure and comfortable wear throughout the day. A key benefit is the superior comfort offered by the Memory Foam cushioned insole. However, the primarily engineered knit upper may not offer the same level of water resistance as other materials. Key features include a slip-in design, memory foam cushioning, sustainable vegan materials, a flexible traction outsole, breathable engineered knit upper, and machine washability for easy maintenance.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and light activities, these trainers are not specifically designed for high-impact running. They lack the specialized support and structure required for intense running sessions.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Please refer to the Skechers sizing chart for accurate measurements. The UK size is indicated in the product title (e.g., 4.5 UK). It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The engineered knit upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. In wet weather, water may seep through the upper, and they are not recommended for prolonged exposure to rain or puddles.

What is the benefit of the 'Heel Pillow' technology?

The Heel Pillow technology is designed to create a comfortable, secure, and plush fit around the heel area, helping to keep the foot in place and prevent slippage during wear.

How long does the Memory Foam cushioning last?

Memory Foam insoles are durable for casual wear. With regular use and proper care (including machine washing and air drying), the cushioning can maintain its comfort properties for a significant period, typically over a year of consistent wear.

Can these be worn without socks?

Yes, the soft interior lining and breathable materials make them comfortable to wear without socks, especially given the Memory Foam insole.

Are there other color options available?

Skechers offers various colorways within the BOBS series. While this guide focuses on the black model, other colors like purple and white are available for related models.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Heel Pillow technology aims for a secure fit, but break-in time may be needed for the knit upper to adapt to your foot shape. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is truly correct or if a different model might be a better fit.

Insole is not comfortable

The Memory Foam insole is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If persistent discomfort occurs, consider that the specific cushioning might not suit your individual foot arch or pressure points. These shoes may also accommodate some aftermarket insoles if needed, though this might affect the slip-in ease.

Difficulty slipping shoe on

Ensure the Heel Pillow is pushed down slightly as you insert your foot. If the shoe is new, the materials may be stiffer. Gentle wiggling and pulling the back tab can help. Once worn in, the process becomes easier.

Traction seems poor

Check the outsole for any debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. The flexible traction outsole is designed for typical urban and indoor surfaces; performance may vary on extremely slick or uneven terrains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely comfortable for all-day wear due to Memory Foam and Heel Pillow.
  • Convenient hands-free slip-in design makes them easy to put on and take off.
  • Sustainable construction using 100% vegan materials.
  • Breathable knit upper helps keep feet cool.
  • Machine washable for simple cleaning and maintenance.

Cons

  • The engineered knit upper may not provide significant water resistance.
  • May lack the robust support required for high-impact athletic activities.
  • Sole flexibility, while good for casual wear, might not be sufficient for specialized sports.
  • Durability of the knit upper in rugged conditions might be a concern for some users.
  • Style may be too casual for formal or semi-formal occasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility:

Designed for adult women's footwear. Refer to the size guide for UK sizing. The trainers are suitable for a wide range of casual activities and daily wear.

Care Instructions:

These shoes are machine washable. For best results:

  1. Place shoes in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase.
  2. Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle.
  3. Air dry completely. Do not place in the dryer, as heat can damage the materials.

For minor dirt, a damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning.
