Skechers trainers are popular for commuting, walking, light training and casual outfits. But a soft insole doesn’t automatically mean a shoe is right for your feet or the way you’ll use it. The difference often comes down to the fit, the upper material and the sole.
If you focus only on the colour or a discount label, you risk buying a pair that feels too warm, doesn’t offer enough grip or becomes less comfortable after a few weeks. This guide helps you compare Skechers men’s trainers and Skechers women’s trainers using features you can check.
A Skechers Memory Foam trainer may feel soft when you first put it on. That doesn’t mean the last will automatically suit your feet. An insole that can’t be removed also leaves you with less room to use your own insole later.
So always check:
Mesh and textile can offer welcome ventilation for everyday wear and light training. However, they’re not the same as waterproof materials. A shoe with mesh panels may be comfortable at the gym or on dry days, but less suitable in prolonged rain.
For a versatile pair, combinations of synthetic leather and mesh are practical. The leather-like sections are easier to wipe clean, while mesh helps with ventilation.
Not every sporty trainer is designed for long walks. When choosing Skechers walking shoes, check the sole construction, tread, heel stability and room around the forefoot. A thin, smooth sole is better suited to everyday wear indoors or short distances. A flexible rubber sole with tread makes more sense for longer walks on mixed terrain.
Product information often states whether a model runs true to size or large. The Burns Agoura 52635 and Summits 52811 are described in the available specifications as having a regular fit, with a recommendation to order your usual size. The Graceful - Get Connected 12615, on the other hand, is listed as running large, with a recommendation to order one size down.
If you’re unsure, measure both feet at the end of the day. Compare the longer foot with the size chart and allow for the socks you’ll wear. Several models list a regular width as D. The Skechers OG 85 Old School 699-WHT lists a G width, which may offer more room for some people.
Choose the material to suit how you’ll use the shoes:
Bear in mind that brand product descriptions may include marketing terms. It’s best to assess claims about ventilation or cushioning by looking at the materials listed, as well as the sole and insole. A brand’s own research may suggest that a product has certain features, but that isn’t a universal guarantee for every wearer.
Rubber soles are common on many Skechers trainers. Check whether the sole is simply described as rubber or whether it also has a tread, a flexible construction or extra grip. For everyday wear, a lightweight sole and easy entry may matter more than a heavy-duty walking tread.
Care instructions vary by model. According to the product information, some models are machine washable on a gentle, cold cycle, while others should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Leave your trainers to air dry and avoid tumble drying or direct heat. This helps limit distortion and damage to glued joins.
Why it suits this profile: This black model combines a regular fit with laces, mesh panels and a Memory Foam insole. That makes it suitable for everyday outfits, short walks and light activities.
The product information specifies the fit, size 42 and material. Mesh helps you avoid choosing an upper that’s completely enclosed and warm.

The description mentions stabilising sections, a tread sole and a regular fit. This makes the specifications easier to check than a general comfort claim alone.

We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
It varies by model. The available information lists the Burns Agoura, Summits and Track Syntac as true to size. The Graceful - Get Connected and OG 85 Old School are described as running large. So always check the size advice on the product page before ordering.
A Memory Foam insole can help provide a soft feel underfoot, but suitability also depends on fit, socks, the surface you’re walking on and personal preference. Also check whether the insole can be removed. On several of the models mentioned, it can’t.
Follow the care advice for each model. According to the product information, machine-washable models can be washed on a gentle, cold cycle and should be left to air dry. Clean other models with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Don’t use bleach or put shoes in the tumble dryer unless the product information specifically says you can.
