A pair of Skechers trainers can be suitable for work, walking, leisure or light exercise. However, not every style is the same. A soft insole, for example, tells you little about the fit, while a sporty look doesn’t automatically mean a shoe is suitable for long walks.
So focus on the construction and intended use. That way, you can avoid buying men’s trainers that feel too warm after a few weeks, don’t provide enough support or prove difficult to care for.
A well-known brand doesn’t guarantee that every style will suit your feet. Width, fastening, sole and materials vary across a collection. A lace-up style, for example, offers a different fit adjustment from Skechers Slip-Ins. Always check the stated fit, shoe width and size chart.
A Memory Foam insole can feel comfortable when you try a shoe on, but overall comfort also depends on the outsole, heel construction and room around the toes. For everyday wear, a regular fit, flexible rubber sole and good ventilation are just as important.
Textile, mesh, synthetic leather and leather all react differently to water and cleaning products. According to the product description, some styles can be machine-washed, while others should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ignoring this advice can cause the shape or finish of your trainers to deteriorate more quickly.
A regular fit is often described in product information as regular fit, normal fit or shoe width D. This is a useful starting point, but it doesn’t replace checking your foot length. Measure both feet at the end of the day and compare the longer measurement with the size chart.
Also consider the differences between styles:
Mesh and textile can feel airier than fully synthetic materials. The Skechers Burns Agoura combines synthetic leather with mesh panels. According to the product information, the Skechers Track Syntac has a leather and mesh upper.
Please note: breathable trainers aren’t the same as waterproof trainers. Mesh can help with ventilation, but generally offers less protection from rain than a closed upper. In changeable weather, a water-repellent style such as the Skechers Escape Plan, as described in the product information, may be more practical. Always check the care instructions.
A rubber sole can offer grip and durability, but the tread also affects how suitable a shoe is for wet pavements, tiled floors or unpaved paths. For everyday wear, a flexible treaded sole is often sufficient. For longer walks, useful features to look for include a padded collar, stable heel and cushioned midsole.
Use sporty trainers for light activities only within the limits of their design. A casual trainer or lifestyle style isn’t automatically suitable for running or intensive training.
Why it suits this type of user: These grey men’s trainers have a lace-up fastening, a regular fit and mesh panels. They’re suitable for work, running errands and everyday wear.
The product information lists the materials, shoe width D and non-removable Memory Foam insole. This makes it easier to decide in advance whether the care requirements and fit are right for you.
Synthetic leather upper, mesh panels, rubber sole and lace-up fastening.
Why it suits this type of user: This style is designed for walking and everyday wear. The padded collar, stabilising panels and Relaxed Fit may suit anyone looking for extra room and support.
The specifications list more than just Memory Foam: they also include a flexible rubber sole, stabilising zones and regular width D.
Lace-up fastening, padded collar, Memory Foam insole and rubber treaded sole.
Why it suits this type of user: These low-top trainers are designed for everyday and casual wear. The product description states that they’re made from water-repellent material, which can be handy for commuting and walks in changeable weather.
The product information specifies a G width, mesh for ventilation, a shock-absorbing midsole and a rubber outsole.
Water-repellent material according to the product listing, mesh side panel, laces and Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole.
If you’re looking for a slimmer silhouette, you could also consider the Puma Speedcat OG. It has a leather upper, textile lining, IMEVA midsole, regular fit and rubber outsole. Its low, flat shape is best suited to casual outfits. For long walks, compare the sole and fit with your intended use first.
The Vans Old Skool has a textile upper, textile lining and rubber sole. This is a distinctive casual trainer for everyday wear, but check the care instructions and room around the forefoot before buying.
For children, styles such as the Skechers Microspec Texlor are practical thanks to their combination of elastic and hook-and-loop fastening. The Skechers Gametronix listing contains conflicting product information, so check the product details particularly carefully before buying.
We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
It depends on the style. Look for a treaded sole, padded collar, stable heel and cushioned midsole. According to the product information, styles such as the Oak Canyon Redwick are designed for walking and training. A low-profile lifestyle style with a flat sole may be better suited to short distances and everyday wear.
Several of the styles mentioned have a regular fit and shoe width D. The Escape Plan is listed as G width. Always check the specific size chart for the style, and don’t order based only on a previous purchase.
It varies by style. Some product information states that the trainers are machine-washable, while others should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Check the care advice on the product page and, unless the manufacturer says otherwise, leave your trainers to air-dry.
