Skechers trainers are popular with women, men and children looking for a pair for everyday wear, walking, leisure or light exercise. But a soft insole or a familiar model name doesn’t tell you everything. The fit, sole, fastening and care requirements all help determine whether a pair stays comfortable for everyday use.
In this guide, you’ll find out what to look for before buying Skechers trainers for women, men or children. Then we’ll look at some models suited to different situations.
Skechers trainers with Memory Foam are often chosen for their soft insoles. However, that doesn’t guarantee that the shoe will suit every foot. The insole may be fixed in place, so you can’t replace it with your own. Always check whether the insole is removable.
For example, the Skechers BOBS Geo-New Aesthetics in black and the Track-Ripkent are listed as having non-removable insoles. The BOBS Sparrow 2.0, on the other hand, has a removable insole.
The fit varies from one model to another. According to the product information, some models fit true to size, while others come up larger. For example, the Skechers Graceful - Get Connected is listed as a larger-fitting model, with a recommendation to go down one size. The BOBS Sparrow 2.0 also comes with a recommendation to order one size smaller.
So don’t just go by your usual shoe size. Check:
Many low-top trainers are suitable for everyday wear, but that doesn’t automatically mean they’re designed for intensive running sessions or prolonged outdoor sports. Pay attention to the type of sole, grip and fastening. A treaded sole can be useful on wet streets, while a lightweight textile shoe may be better suited to leisure wear and short walks.
A regular fit and D shoe width are listed for several models in this guide. According to the product information, the D'Lux Walker - Orford has a G shoe width. This may be worth considering if you need more room around the forefoot, but fit is always personal.
When trying shoes on, check the following:
A laceless model, such as some Skechers Slip-Ins, is handy when you need to put your shoes on and take them off quickly. Laces usually allow you to adjust the fit more precisely around your foot.
Most of the selected models have a rubber sole. Rubber can provide grip, but how much grip you get depends on the tread and the surface. According to the product description, the Skechers Track-Ripkent has a sturdy sole for grip and cushioning. The Slip-Ins Summits - High Range is listed as having a treaded sole.
When choosing, consider whether you’ll mainly be walking on:
For muddy paths or strenuous sports, a dedicated outdoor or sports shoe is often a better choice than a casual trainer.
Textile and mesh can feel breathable, but need extra care in wet weather and when exposed to dirt. Synthetic materials are often easy to wipe clean, while some models are listed as machine washable. Always follow the care instructions for the specific pair.
For the BOBS Geo-New Aesthetics, cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended. According to the product information, the BOBS Sport Squad Chaos and some Slip-Ins models can be washed on a mild, cold cycle and should only be air-dried. Don’t use a tumble dryer for models with a shaped Slip-Ins heel panel unless the product information explicitly says it’s safe to do so.

For children, easy-to-use fastenings are often more important than a soft-sounding marketing term. The Skechers Microspec Texlor 403770L is available in several sizes, including 30, 31, 32 and 33. It has elastic laces with a hook-and-loop fastening, a textile upper and a rubber sole. This makes it easier to put on and take off than a shoe with traditional laces all the way round.
When buying Skechers trainers for children, always check that there’s still enough room in the size. Children grow quickly, but a shoe that’s too roomy may feel less stable. Also check that the sole bends enough for normal walking and play.
It varies by model. Many models in this guide have a regular fit and recommend ordering your usual size. According to the product information, the Skechers Graceful - Get Connected and BOBS Sparrow 2.0 come up larger. Always check the size recommendation on the product page.
Skechers Slip-Ins are designed without traditional lace-up fastenings. Their easy-on design can be handy for commuting and everyday wear. Whether a pair is suitable for a long day depends on the fit, width, sole and your feet. Also check that the fixed insole meets your needs.
Follow the instructions for the model you’ve chosen. According to the product information, some models can be washed on a mild, cold cycle, while others should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Leave trainers to air-dry, and avoid heat, bleach and tumble-drying unless these are permitted.
