A complete fashion, lifestyle and performance destination that enables regional consumers, locals and tourists to explore our entire comfort offering.”

Environmental features include LED lighting, concrete and recycled vinyl flooring and energy-conscious ceiling fans as well as recycled rubber seating throughout the store.

From fashion styles to lifestyle product and performance shoes for sport enthusiasts, Skechers’ offering is enhanced with the Company’s signature comfort innovations—including its patented Skechers Arch Fit Technology™, Skechers Max Cushioning Technology™, Skechers Hyper Burst Technology™, Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam®, Skechers Relaxed Fit Technology™, Skechers Stretch Fit Technology™, Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins Technology™ and Massage Fit Technology™.
