FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are optimized for walking and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically designed as high-performance running shoes.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes feature a patented Heel Pillow® that holds your heel in place, allowing you to easily slip your foot in without needing to touch the shoe.
Can I remove the Arch Fit® insole?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable. This allows for easy cleaning and the option to insert custom orthotics if desired.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The mesh and synthetic upper is breathable and offers some protection against light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the main benefit of the GO WALK Max Cushioning Arch Fit design?
The primary benefit is the combination of superior, lightweight cushioning with structured arch support, designed for maximum comfort during extended wear, coupled with the convenience of a slip-in design.
How long does the machine wash cycle typically take?
A standard machine wash cycle usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the machine's settings. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried afterwards, which may take 24-48 hours.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
These trainers are designed for a slip-in fit and do not offer adjustable tightness via laces. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider if this style is suitable for your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The ULTRA FLIGHT® and Max Cushioning® are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally compress with extensive use. For persistent issues, consider replacing the Arch Fit® insole or the shoes if they are significantly worn.
Machine washing is not cleaning effectively.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and a cold, gentle cycle. For tougher stains, pre-treat with a fabric stain remover suitable for athletic shoes. Allow to air dry completely.
Arch support feels uncomfortable.
The Arch Fit® insole provides significant support. If it feels unusual, allow your feet a few days to adjust. If discomfort persists, the removable insole can be replaced with a different type that suits your needs.
