Full details

Their key benefit is effortless wearability combined with responsive cushioning.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Skechers Go Walk Flex trainers are designed for walking and casual wear. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact running activities.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash with mild soap and water and air dry only.
How do the Hands-Free Slip-Ins work?
The unique heel design provides a structured but flexible opening that allows you to easily slide your foot in and out without needing to touch the shoe with your hands.
What is the difference between Ultra GO and Air-Cooled Memory Foam?
Ultra GO is a lightweight and responsive midsole cushioning. Air-Cooled Memory Foam provides a comfortable, cushioned insole that offers breathability and conforms to your foot.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which means they are not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or puddles.
What is the best way to ensure a good fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box without your foot sliding around, and that the heel feels secure.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are often removable and can be replaced with other compatible insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
These are slip-on shoes with fixed elastic laces and are designed for a snug but comfortable fit. If they feel too loose, consider adding an insole or wearing thicker socks. If too tight, ensure you have selected the correct size and allow for a short break-in period.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure the heel counter is fully extended. Try sliding your foot in smoothly, avoiding force. The Hands-Free Slip-Ins design might require a slight adjustment period to find the optimal angle for entry.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.
The insoles may need cleaning or replacing. Remove and hand wash the insoles, allowing them to dry completely. If wear is significant, consider purchasing replacement insoles.
Traction feels inadequate on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, proceed with caution as mesh trainers with flexible soles may be more prone to slipping. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
