FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. While comfortable, they are not engineered for the demands of marathon running and may not provide the necessary support or durability for such high-impact events.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
It's recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The engineered knit upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, they are not recommended for use in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can penetrate the material and affect comfort and shoe longevity.
What does 'vegan construction' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these specific trainers. This includes materials like leather, suede, or certain glues.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, particularly after wear in dusty or dirty conditions. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance. Avoid excessive cleaning, which can wear down the materials.
What is the benefit of the BOBS® from Skechers® commitment?
This commitment means that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of BOBS products goes towards helping save the lives of pets in need, supporting animal welfare organizations.
Will the metallic trim fade or peel?
The durability of the metallic trim can vary depending on usage. Gentle cleaning and avoiding abrasive materials will help preserve its appearance. Significant wear and tear from rigorous activity may lead to some fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels too firm initially
The Skechers Memory Foam™ insole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few hours each day for the first few days to allow the foam to mold to your foot.
Shoes feel slightly tight
Adjust the laces to provide more room. If the tightness persists, consider wearing thinner socks or consult a professional for stretching options if needed.
Minor scuffs on the upper
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For metallic trim, use a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Odor develops after wear
Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Never store them while damp.

Compatibility: Designed for adult female wearers. Best suited for casual wear, light walking, and everyday activities. Not intended for rigorous sports or heavy-duty outdoor use.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the trainers:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this can damage the materials and affect the cushioning.
