FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While many Skechers models are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft brush and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the hands-free heel.
Can I replace the laces?
These shoes feature non-tie stretch laces that are integrated into the design for a slip-in fit; they are not intended to be replaced with traditional laces.
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The technical mesh upper offers a good amount of stretch, but if you require a specific wide-width fitting, ensure you check for a 'Wide' designation in the product sizing.
Can I run in these trainers?
The GO WALK Flex series is optimized for walking and daily casual use. They lack the lateral support and stability required for high-impact activities like jogging or court sports.
What does 'Vegan-Friendly' mean for these shoes?
It means the materials used, including the adhesives and dyes, contain no animal-derived products.
Troubleshooting
Heel feels loose when walking
Ensure the heel pillow area is free of debris. If the fit remains loose, consider wearing slightly thicker socks to improve the connection with the heel counter.
Insole becomes flattened over time
Remove the insole and allow it to air out completely for 24 hours. If it remains compressed, consider replacing the insert with a third-party orthotic if extra arch support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-ins, no initial setup is required; simply step into the shoe, and the molded heel structure will guide your foot into position. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing if possible, though they can generally be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the memory foam or adhesive elements from degrading. If the shoes become damp internally, remove the insoles and let them dry separately to prevent odors.
