Full details

Their key benefit lies in the slip-on design and breathable, flexible construction, perfect for a busy lifestyle.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Skechers Bedford Cheerful Glow trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for running.
How do I ensure the best fit with the Stretch Fit design?
The Stretch Fit aims for a sock-like feel. If you are between sizes, consider trying a half-size up for a slightly looser fit, or your usual size for a snugger, sock-like feel. Wearing them for a short period will help them conform to your foot.
Can I wash these trainers in hot water?
It is strongly recommended to wash the trainers in cold water only. Hot water can damage the materials, especially the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole and the knit upper.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is approximately 3.2 cm (about 1.25 inches).
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is made of rubber and is designed to be flexible and provide traction for everyday wear. It is suitable for casual walking and light activities but may show wear with prolonged heavy use or on abrasive surfaces.
Can I remove the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole?
Yes, the insole is typically designed to be removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the option to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Stretch Fit design may feel snug at first. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The Air-Cooled Memory Foam also molds over time.
Slight odor after wear
Ensure the shoes are completely dry after washing or wearing. Use baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, or air them out in a well-ventilated area. Regular machine washing can also help.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam will naturally compress slightly with extended use. To maintain comfort, ensure proper drying after washing and avoid exposing them to extreme heat.
Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces
The flexible outsole is designed for general traction. For optimal grip, avoid walking on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from any debris that might affect grip.
