Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the women-specific wide-fit different from regular wide-fit footwear?

The Skechers Work Women's Squad Wide-Fit is specifically engineered for women's feet, not simply a smaller version of men's footwear. While providing extra room in the toe box and midfoot area for women with broader feet, the design maintains a narrower heel and more anatomically correct proportions that match women's foot shape. This prevents the heel slipping and discomfort that many women experience with unisex or men's wide-fit footwear. The women-specific last ensures proper support, reduces pressure points, and eliminates the need to size down to achieve heel fit, which would negate the wide-fit benefits. This makes the Squad Wide-Fit ideal for women who find standard women's work footwear too narrow but need proper fit throughout the entire foot.

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 Wide-Fit ideal for food service, hospitality, healthcare, and retail where slip resistance and comfort are priorities for female workers, but toe protection is not required. For environments requiring toe protection, consider safety-rated footwear with SB, S1, or higher ratings.

Does the Skechers Work Women's Squad Wide-Fit run true to size?

Yes, the Skechers Work Women's Squad Wide-Fit fits true to women's UK sizing. We recommend ordering your regular women's shoe size. The wide-fit design provides extra room in the toe box and midfoot area specifically for women with broader feet, while maintaining proper fit at the heel. The Memory Foam insole adapts to your foot shape, providing a personalized fit that becomes even more comfortable over time. Customer feedback from women with wider feet consistently reports the Squad Wide-Fit is comfortable from the first wear with no break-in period required, finally providing the room they need without sacrificing proper heel fit. If you have standard or narrow width feet, this wide-fit version may feel too roomy, and you should consider the regular Squad model instead.

Are these trainers suitable for 12-hour shifts in healthcare?

Absolutely. The Skechers Work Women's Squad Wide-Fit is specifically designed for female healthcare workers, nurses, and medical staff who spend entire shifts on their feet. The Memory Foam cushioned insole provides exceptional comfort and support throughout 12-hour shifts and beyond, adapting to your foot shape to reduce pressure points and fatigue. The wide-fit design prevents the foot swelling discomfort that many women experience during extended shifts, while the lightweight construction minimizes leg fatigue. The SRC slip resistance provides reliable traction on hospital floors that may be wet from cleaning or spills. Customer feedback from nurses and healthcare workers consistently confirms the Squad Wide-Fit remains comfortable throughout double shifts, with the breathable upper keeping feet cool and the athletic styling providing the flexibility needed for fast-paced hospital environments.

How do I determine if I need the wide-fit version?

You should choose the Women's Squad Wide-Fit if you experience any of the following with standard women's work footwear: pressure points or pinching on the sides of your feet, discomfort across the ball of your foot after extended wear, toe crowding or overlapping toes in regular width shoes, difficulty finding comfortable work footwear despite trying multiple brands, or foot swelling that makes standard shoes uncomfortable during long shifts. The wide-fit provides extra room throughout the toe box and midfoot area while maintaining proper heel fit. If you typically wear wide or extra-wide athletic shoes, have bunions, or simply prefer more room in your footwear, the Squad Wide-Fit is the ideal choice. If you wear standard width shoes comfortably, the regular Squad model would be more appropriate for your foot shape.
