Skechers trainers are popular with adults looking for one pair of shoes for shopping, work, walking and casual outfits. However, a soft insole isn’t the only thing to consider when deciding whether a style is right for you. The right choice also depends on fit, materials, fastening and the surfaces you’ll be walking on.
If you focus only on a familiar style name or an attractive discount, you could end up with a pair that doesn’t fit as well as you’d hoped. Here are the key things to check, along with some popular options from the range.
Skechers Memory Foam refers to a cushioned footbed in certain styles. That doesn’t automatically mean the shoes will feel comfortable on every foot. A fixed insole, a narrow fit or a style that comes up large can still cause pressure points.
So always check:
A mesh or textile upper may feel airier than synthetic materials, but that doesn’t make a style suitable for rainy weather. For example, the Skechers Hillcrest - Pure Escapade is listed as water-repellent, while other styles mainly feature a breathable upper.
For the changeable Dutch weather, it’s worth checking:
Skechers Slip-Ins and other slip-on styles are practical when you want to put your shoes on quickly. However, for long walks, cycling or an active day, laces can offer more adjustment. A slip-on style with a fixed fit is less easy to adjust if your feet need a little more room during the day.
Measure both feet at the end of the day and compare your longer foot with the size guide. Don’t look at the EU size alone: the information available varies from one style to another. For example, the Skechers Bobs B Flex - Arctic Edge 118110-BBK is available in size 42,5 with a regular D width. Other styles, such as the Skechers Summits - Leopard Spot, have a G width.
Pay particular attention to any different sizing advice:
For everyday wear, a flexible rubber or EVA outsole, a fixed footbed and a regular fit are practical starting points. A treaded outsole can be useful for light walks on paved paths. Regular casual trainers aren’t automatically suitable for intense sports or technical hiking routes.
Check the following:
A higher sole, as found on some D'Lites styles, can change the look, but it doesn’t in itself tell you anything about stability or comfort.
Textile and mesh can be suitable for lightweight breathable trainers. Synthetic leather is generally easier to wipe clean, while leather and textile require different care. Don’t put a style in the washing machine without checking first. For several styles, cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended.
If you’re looking for vegan trainers, check the product description. The Skechers Bobs Geo-New Aesthetics and Bobs B Flex - Chill Edge are listed as 100% vegan in the available information. This is a material claim from the product information, so always check the latest specifications if you’re unsure.

It depends on the style. For walking on easy terrain, choose a style with a treaded outsole, lace-up fastening and a fit that doesn’t pinch. According to the product information, the Skechers Oak Canyon has a Relaxed Fit, Memory Foam footbed and rubber outsole. More demanding hiking routes call for additional features, such as suitable support and grip.
Their lifespan depends on how often you wear them, your body weight, the surface you walk on, the materials and how well you care for them. Wearing trainers every day on tarmac wears down the outsole faster than alternating between pairs. Replace your trainers when the tread becomes noticeably smooth, the outsole wears unevenly or the inside becomes permanently misshapen.
Always follow the label and product page. Many styles are recommended for cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Leave your shoes to air dry, avoid prolonged exposure to heat and don’t use bleach. Only machine wash them if the product information specifically says this is suitable.
