Frequently Asked Questions

What does OB FO SRC mean and are these safety trainers?

The OB FO SRC rating under EN ISO 20347:2012 designates these as occupational footwear rather than safety footwear. OB (Occupational Basic) indicates professional work footwear with an enclosed heel but without toe protection, making them suitable for environments where overhead hazards are minimal. FO means the outsole is fuel and oil resistant, while SRC provides the highest level of slip resistance tested on both wet ceramic tile and steel surfaces. This makes the Squad trainers ideal for food service, hospitality, healthcare, and retail where slip resistance and comfort are priorities, but toe protection is not required. For environments requiring toe protection, consider safety-rated footwear with SB, S1, or higher ratings.

How do these trainers compare to regular Skechers athletic shoes?

The Skechers Work Squad maintains the same exceptional comfort, Memory Foam cushioning, and athletic styling that Skechers sport trainers are famous for, but adds essential workplace features. The key differences are the SRC certified slip resistant outsole tested for workplace safety, the FO oil and fuel resistant rubber compound that won't degrade from kitchen oils or chemicals, and the easy-clean materials designed for food service and healthcare environments. While regular Skechers trainers prioritize breathability and lightness for casual wear, the Squad trainers balance these features with workplace protection and durability. You get the same legendary Skechers comfort in a trainer specifically engineered for the demands of professional service environments.

Are these trainers suitable for standing all day in a kitchen?

Absolutely. The Skechers Work Squad is specifically designed for workers who spend entire shifts on their feet in demanding kitchen environments. The Memory Foam cushioned insole provides exceptional comfort and support throughout extended shifts, adapting to your foot shape to reduce pressure points and fatigue. The SRC slip resistance provides reliable traction on wet, greasy kitchen floors, while the oil resistant outsole maintains its grip even when exposed to cooking oils and food debris. The breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool in hot kitchen environments, and the lightweight construction minimizes leg fatigue. Customer feedback from chefs, kitchen staff, and restaurant workers consistently confirms the Squad remains comfortable and provides excellent slip protection throughout long shifts in busy commercial kitchens.

Does the Skechers Work Squad run true to size?

Yes, the Skechers Work Squad fits true to size with a relaxed, athletic fit that Skechers trainers are known for. We recommend ordering your regular UK shoe size. The design provides generous space in the toe box and midfoot area, making it comfortable for workers with average to slightly wider feet. The Memory Foam insole adapts to your foot shape, providing a personalized fit that becomes even more comfortable over time. Customer feedback consistently reports the Squad is comfortable from the first wear with no break-in period required. If you have narrow feet, you may find the relaxed fit slightly roomy, while those with wider feet typically find the fit perfect for all-day comfort in an athletic trainer style.

Can these trainers get wet or be cleaned easily?

Yes, the Skechers Work Squad features easy-clean synthetic and mesh materials designed for service environments where spills and splashes are common. The trainers can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to remove food debris, liquids, and stains, maintaining a professional appearance shift after shift. While the breathable mesh upper provides excellent ventilation, it is not waterproof, so the trainers are suitable for environments with occasional spills and splashes but not for standing water or prolonged wet exposure. For routine cleaning, wipe with mild soap and water, then air dry. The materials resist staining and maintain their appearance well with regular cleaning. For fully waterproof footwear, consider safety boots or shoes with WP or waterproof membrane construction.
