Skechers trainers are popular with people looking for one pair of shoes for work, shopping, school or a relaxed walk. But a soft insole doesn’t tell you everything about the fit or suitability. A pair that feels comfortable in the shop might turn out to be too warm, too narrow or not supportive enough after a long day at work.
So keep an eye out for these three common pitfalls:
Start by thinking about what you’ll be doing. Lightweight Skechers men’s trainers or casual styles are often practical for everyday wear. For walks on uneven ground, Skechers walking shoes with a treaded sole and higher ankle are a more suitable choice. If you want to slip your shoes on quickly, consider Skechers Slip-Ins or a style with elastic laces.
For children, a sturdy rubber sole and a fastening they can manage independently are particularly important. Skechers children’s shoes with elastic laces and a hook-and-loop fastening may be more practical than shoes with loose laces.
Always check the size guide on the product page. A standard fit is often labelled D, while some women’s styles have a G width. Size advice also varies between models:
Ideally, measure your feet at the end of the day, when they often need a little more room. Also check the returns policy before ordering, especially if you’re between sizes.
A textile or mesh upper is usually a good choice for breathable trainers and everyday wear in milder weather. For example, the Skechers Burns features mesh panels. According to the product description, these can help with air circulation, but they don’t make the shoe waterproof.
Leather and synthetic leather often provide a more closed finish. The Skechers Selmen - Melano, for example, has a leather upper, textile lining and rubber treaded sole. This makes it better suited to walks on hilly terrain than a lightweight, fully knitted casual trainer.
Don’t go by the technology name alone. According to the product information, several styles feature a Memory Foam insole, including the Burns, Track-Ripkent and Track Syntac. This describes the insole construction; it doesn’t guarantee that the shoe will feel equally comfortable on every foot.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety requirements.
How long your shoes last depends on how often you wear them, the surfaces you walk on, your body weight, the materials and how well you care for them. If you wear them every day, alternate between pairs and let any moisture dry out completely before putting them away. Always follow the care instructions for the specific style.
Machine washing isn’t suitable for every pair. According to the product information, some styles can be washed on a delicate cycle, while the Skechers Selmen - Melano should only be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Don’t use bleach, and leave your shoes to air dry. A tumble dryer can damage materials, glued joints and moulded heel panels.
Many styles are designed for everyday wear, according to their product descriptions. Still, check the upper, sole and fastening. Lightweight casual trainers are often fine for the office or shopping; for long walks, a sturdier tread is more important.
According to the product information, Skechers Memory Foam refers to an insole or footbed made with cushioning foam. It doesn’t automatically mean the shoe offers the right support or fit for everyone. So check the width, footbed, sole and size advice too.
Black Skechers trainers often show light signs of wear less than lighter colours, but dirt and moisture can still be noticeable with frequent use. Clean them according to the label: some textile styles can be carefully machine washed, while leather or certain other styles should be cleaned with a cloth.
