FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort and flexibility, they may not provide the necessary support and stability required for high-impact sports like running or intense gym workouts.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart and measure your foot length. The slip-in design should feel snug but not tight, with the Heel Pillow securing your foot comfortably.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The engineered knit upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not recommended for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions as the material can absorb moisture.
What does '100% vegan materials' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived products or by-products were used in the construction of the shoes, including the upper, insole, outsole, and any adhesives.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
It is best to machine wash only when necessary to maintain the longevity of the materials and cushioning. For daily cleaning, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Do the trainers offer good arch support?
The Memory Foam cushioned insole provides general comfort and some support. However, individuals requiring significant arch support for medical reasons might benefit from adding specialized orthotic insoles.
What is the difference between the 'Bobs Skillz Too Essential' and other Skechers Bobs models?
The 'Skillz Too Essential' model specifically features the hands-free slip-in design and Heel Pillow technology for enhanced ease of use and comfort, differentiating it from lace-up or traditional slip-on Skechers Bobs models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off.
Ensure the Heel Pillow technology is properly cradling your heel. If still loose, consider adding an insole for a snugger fit or trying a half-size down if available and practical.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
While the Memory Foam offers comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider using the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust.
Knit upper shows signs of wear or snagging.
Be mindful of where you wear the shoes to avoid abrasive surfaces. Gently snip any loose threads without pulling. For snags, carefully tuck them back into the knit if possible.
Machine washing results in loss of shape.
Always air dry shoes after washing. Stuffing them with paper or a towel during the drying process can help maintain their original form.
