FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for running activities.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and structure of the shoe.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
Hands Free Slip-ins® technology means you can put the shoes on and take them off without needing to bend down or use your hands. The unique heel design allows your foot to slide in easily.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are not waterproof. The Stretch Fit® knit upper is breathable, which means it will allow air and moisture to pass through.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This is a highly responsive insole designed to provide exceptional cushioning and breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during wear.
Are these trainers vegan?
Yes, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are made with vegan materials, meaning they do not contain any animal products.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, and your heel should not slip excessively when walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or lack support for intense activity
These trainers are optimized for walking and casual wear. For high-impact activities, consider a shoe with a more traditional lacing system for a more secure fit. You can also try adding a thicker insole or heel grips for a snugger feel.
Knit upper feels restrictive after prolonged wear
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to be adaptive. If it feels too tight, ensure you have the correct size. Wearing thin socks can also help. The material typically stretches slightly with wear, so continued use may resolve minor tightness.
Slight odor developing after use
Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air dry completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is pulled forward and the shoe opening is wide. While designed for hands-free, some initial use might require a slight push or adjustment. Wear them around the house for a short period to help the materials conform to your foot.
