FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual wear. They provide excellent cushioning for walking but may not offer the specialized support or features required for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the fabric upper?
Gently wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What does 'No Tie Fit' mean?
It means the laces are fixed and designed to stay in place, allowing you to slip the shoes on and off easily without needing to tie or untie them.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole is removable, making it easier to clean or to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the polyester knit upper is not waterproof. These shoes are designed for breathability and comfort in dry conditions. They are not suitable for use in wet weather.
What is the recommended use for the dual-density traction outsole?
The outsole provides stability and grip on various surfaces, making it suitable for walking on pavements, indoor floors, and light outdoor trails. It is not designed for extreme conditions or very slippery surfaces.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is primarily made of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam for cushioning and an added layer for traction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose despite 'No Tie Fit'
While the laces are fixed, you can sometimes adjust the tension by gently pulling or loosening the knot area. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Insole is not staying in place
Ensure the insole is completely dry and free of debris before reinserting. Sometimes, a slight crease in the insole can prevent it from lying flat; try smoothing it out.
Reduced cushioning or bounce after some use
Over time, cushioning can compress. For best results, rotate your footwear and allow these shoes to rest between wears. Avoid using them for activities beyond their intended purpose (walking/casual).
Slight odor developing
Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap it out before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no setup beyond putting them on. The 'No Tie Fit' system means the laces are fixed, allowing you to simply slide your foot in. Ensure the laces are comfortable but not overly tight upon first wear.
Compatibility:
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Day trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual use. They are compatible with various surface types, including pavements, indoor floors, and light trails due to their dual-density traction outsole. They are not intended for high-impact sports like running or court games, where specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
Care Instructions:
- Upper: Wipe the polyester upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Insole: The Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole can be removed for spot cleaning. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the cushioning foam or tread pattern.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Washing: It is generally not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the internal cushioning and structural integrity. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
