FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers BOBS Sport Arch Fit Elev8 Trainers are designed for casual wear and walking. While they offer good comfort and support, they are not intended for high-impact running or rigorous athletic training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for accurate measurements. These trainers feature a standard fit with flexible laces for some adjustability. Ensure your heel is snug and there is adequate room in the toe box.
Can I remove the Arch Fit® insole?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is designed to be removable. This allows you to clean it separately, air it out, or replace it with your own custom orthotics if needed.
Are these trainers genuinely vegan?
Yes, the product description states they are crafted with 100% vegan materials. Skechers BOBS Sport aims to provide stylish and comfortable footwear while being mindful of ethical and environmental considerations.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing is recommended when the shoes are visibly dirty or starting to smell. Frequent washing can accelerate wear and tear, so spot cleaning for minor marks is often preferable.
What is the benefit of the metallic heel clip?
The metallic heel clip is primarily an aesthetic feature, adding a subtle decorative element and sporty flair to the design of the trainer. It does not typically affect the shoe's performance or fit.
Do BOBS from Skechers® really help animals?
Yes, BOBS from Skechers® has a commitment to saving the lives of pets in need. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of BOBS products typically goes towards supporting animal welfare organizations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are fixed, slight adjustments can be made by manipulating how the laces are threaded or by ensuring the correct size was purchased. If consistently too tight or loose, consider if custom orthotics might alter the fit, or consult sizing charts for future purchases.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The removable Arch Fit® insole can lose its cushioning properties after extended use. Consider replacing the insole with a new Skechers Arch Fit® insole or a compatible aftermarket alternative.
Faint odor developing
Ensure the shoes are fully dry after washing and air them out regularly. Using cedar shoe trees or a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb odors.
Discoloration after washing
Always use cold water and a mild detergent. Wash them separately or with similar light-colored items. Avoid high heat drying, as it can set stains. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
