FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for people with flat feet?
The Arch Fit® system is designed for podiatrist-certified arch support. While it aims to provide comfort for a range of foot types, individuals with very flat feet might benefit from consulting with a podiatrist to determine if this specific support system is appropriate for their needs.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the shoes are designed for comfort and can be worn with or without socks. The internal materials are generally comfortable against the skin.
How long does the arch support last?
The Arch Fit® insole is designed for durable support. However, like all shoe components, its effectiveness may decrease with prolonged heavy use. The insole is removable and can be replaced if needed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers have a cotton canvas upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or water immersion.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance is granted by the American Podiatric Medical Association to products that are found to be beneficial for foot health and of superior quality, indicating that these trainers have been evaluated and approved by podiatrists for their comfort and support features.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should fit snugly without slipping.
Can I replace the Arch Fit® insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable and can be replaced with compatible custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of similar thickness and design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable on first wear
The cotton canvas upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Arch support feels too pronounced or incorrect
The Arch Fit® insole is removable. You can try wearing the shoe without the insole for a less structured feel, or replace it with a thinner insole if one is available and suitable for your needs.
Shoes are not drying properly after washing
Ensure shoes are not exposed to direct heat which can damage the materials. Air dry in a well-ventilated area. If they are still damp, you can stuff them with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and speed up the drying process.
Laces feel too loose or too tight
The stretch laces are designed for a snug fit. If they feel too loose, ensure the foot is fully inserted. If they feel too tight, try gently stretching the laces or ensuring the shoe is the correct width for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To clean your Skechers Street™ Arch Fit® Arcade - Meet Ya There trainers, machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. It is recommended to air dry them and avoid using the dryer or heat. Ensure the insoles are removed before washing if possible for a more thorough clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
