FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact activities like running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing or spot cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method to maintain their structure and cushioning.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 4.8 cm (1.9 inches).
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Skechers GO WALK 8TM Trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer breathability, which means they are not resistant to significant water exposure.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off easily without needing to bend down or use your hands, due to an internal support structure and a cushioned heel.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This is a cushioned insole designed to provide high-level comfort and breathability, helping to keep feet cool and dry.
Is the upper made from real leather?
No, the upper is made from a two-tone Stretch Fit® knit material, composed of polyester, TPU, and elastane, and is a vegan design.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is fully extended and the shoe opening is clear. Try slightly loosening the knit upper by gently stretching it outwards before inserting your foot.
Insole feels uneven or uncomfortable
Remove the insole and ensure it is properly seated. If the issue persists, consider using a different insole designed for your specific arch support needs.
Slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction, but like all footwear, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Material creasing or stretching excessively
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is designed to be flexible. Minor creasing is normal. If excessive stretching occurs, ensure the correct size was purchased and avoid over-tightening or forcing the shoe.
