Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable, easy-to-wear footwear for everyday activities. Their key benefit lies in the hands-free slip-in design and supportive cushioning, making them ideal for those who value convenience and comfort. A potential caveat is that the laceless design may not offer the same locked-in feel as traditional lace-up shoes for high-impact activities.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the necessary support and lockdown for high-impact running activities.
How do I clean the Skechers GO WALK 8 trainers?
They are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry them. Do not use bleach or tumble dry.
What makes the 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The design includes an extended heel and a supportive Heel Pillow™ that allows you to easily slide your foot in without touching the shoe with your hands.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is made of textile and synthetic knit materials, which are breathable but not waterproof. They are not designed to be worn in wet conditions.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is integrated for comfort. While it might be possible to remove it, doing so could affect the shoe's fit and the effectiveness of the slip-in design.
What does 'Vegan Materials' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these shoes. They are made from textile and synthetic components.
How do the Ultra Pillars® contribute to the shoe's performance?
The Ultra Pillars® are located in the midsole and provide enhanced support and stability, promoting a smoother stride and reducing fatigue during walking.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping shoe on
Ensure your foot is angled correctly when entering the shoe. The Heel Pillow™ is designed to flex slightly. If still difficult, try a slightly larger size or consider a different model.
Insole feels too firm or too soft
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole provides specific cushioning. If it doesn't meet your comfort preference, consider using aftermarket insoles, though this may affect the slip-in function.
Shoes feel too loose after wearing
The Stretch Fit® upper may loosen slightly with wear. Ensure you selected the correct size initially. If significant looseness occurs, it may indicate a need for a smaller size or that the shoe is not suitable for your foot shape.
Machine washing results in damage
Always use a gentle cycle with cold water and ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing. Avoid high heat drying, as this can damage the materials. Air drying is recommended.
