Skechers trainers are popular for commuting, shopping, walking and casual outfits. But a familiar model name doesn’t automatically mean a shoe is right for your feet or how you’ll use it. The difference often comes down to details such as the fit, sole, fastening and care requirements.
In this buying guide, we compare the features that matter in Skechers women’s shoes and Skechers men’s shoes. That way, you won’t be choosing based only on colour, a discount or a term such as “Memory Foam”.
A soft insole may feel comfortable when you try a shoe on, but it’s not the only factor that determines whether it fits well. Width, length and heel support are just as important. Always check the stated fit. Some models have a standard width, while others use a wider G fit.
Pay attention to the sizing advice, too. Several models in the range are described as coming up large, with a size down recommended. For other trainers, the advice is to order your usual size.
A textile or mesh upper may feel airier than synthetic leather, but that doesn’t mean every breathable trainer is suitable for hot weather or prolonged wear. Check the upper materials, lining and any mesh panels.
Synthetic leather is generally easier to wipe clean. Textile and mesh can offer more ventilation, but may need more careful cleaning. The product description is the best source to check.
A trainer with a treaded sole can offer extra grip on everyday surfaces, but tread alone doesn’t make a shoe suitable for rough terrain. For city streets, shopping areas and light walks, a rubber or synthetic sole with a visible tread is often enough. For muddy paths, a different type of walking shoe is a better choice.
Also consider the sole height. A thicker sole can change how the shoe feels underfoot and make it less flexible.
Measure both feet at the end of the day, when they’re often slightly larger. Compare your measurements with the size chart for the specific model. Don’t rely solely on the size you wear in another pair.
Check these points:
If you wear orthotic insoles, check carefully whether the original insole can be removed. For several of the selected models, the product details say that the insole is fixed in place.
For everyday trainers, grip, flexibility and durability are practical points to consider. Product information often lists rubber as the outsole material. Some models have a treaded sole, including the Skechers Slip-Ins Summits and various D’Lux Walker models.
For light exercise and walks, a low-top lace-up trainer can be comfortable, as you can adjust the fit while you’re out. For short trips, travelling or times when you’re taking your shoes on and off frequently, a Slip-Ins model may be more convenient.
Textile, mesh, synthetic materials and leather each have different properties. Check the care instructions before you buy:
Why it suits this profile: This black textile model is designed for everyday wear and has laces plus pull tabs to help you put it on. The product information lists a Memory Foam insole and a 2-centimetre PU sole.
The sizing information says this model comes up large. Check the size chart rather than automatically ordering your usual size.

Why it suits this profile: This women’s model has a breathable textile upper, lace fastening and a G shoe width. The product description lists an Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole.
The wider G fit makes it easier to check whether the shoe is right for you. As the model comes up large, the product information recommends sizing down.

Why it suits this profile: These Skechers men’s shoes combine synthetic leather with textile and mesh panels. The lace fastening, heel pull tab and sturdy treaded sole make them suitable for everyday wear and light walks.
The mesh panels and stated treaded sole give you a clearer idea of how the shoe is intended to be used than a general description such as comfortable trainers.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose a model that fits your feet, has a fastening you find comfortable and features a sole suited to pavements, shops and light walking routes. Textile styles such as Graceful or D’Lux Walker can work well with a casual wardrobe. A model with mesh panels may be worth considering if ventilation is important to you.
It varies by model. The product information for models including Graceful, Arch Fit-Big Appeal and D’Lux Walker Infinite Motion says they come up large. For Burns, some Slip-Ins Summits and Max Cushioning Elite models, it says to order your usual size. Always check the specific sizing advice and size chart.
Follow the care instructions for each product. Some washable models can be machine-washed on a cold, delicate cycle. Others should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Leave shoes to air-dry completely and avoid direct heat. A fixed insole can’t be removed or replaced separately, so check this before you buy.
