Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking and light fitness activities. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running.
What does 'vegan' construction mean for these trainers?
Vegan construction means that no animal-derived materials were used in the manufacturing of these Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra trainers.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart available on their official website or consult the product listing for specific size guidance. Generally, UK sizes are standard, but slight variations can occur between models.
Can I replace the insoles if I want a different type of support?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles are removable. You can replace them with your preferred insoles for customized arch support or cushioning, provided they fit within the shoe's regular width.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, typically under 2.5cm, providing a stable and comfortable base for walking.
How durable is the heathered mesh upper?
The heathered mesh upper is designed for breathability and flexibility. While suitable for everyday wear and light activities, it may be less resistant to abrasion compared to more robust synthetic materials used in heavy-duty or trail-specific footwear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through. They are suitable for dry conditions or light moisture, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Due to the fixed stretch laces and slip-on design, adjustability is limited. For a tighter fit, ensure your foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. If they feel too loose, consider using cushioned insoles or heel grips for a snugger feel. These trainers are best suited for those who prefer a comfortable, non-adjustable fit.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the Flex Pillars™ outsole offers multi-surface traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip on any footwear. Use caution on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that might impede traction.
Foot odor after wear.
The breathable mesh and Goga Mat™ insole help manage odor, but prolonged wear can still lead to it. Remove the insoles after wear to allow them to air out completely. Wash insoles regularly with mild soap and water and ensure both insoles and shoes are thoroughly dry before next use.

Care Instructions:
