FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are primarily designed for walking and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the impact and support required for running.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put on and take off the shoes without needing to use your hands. The design, including the Heel Pillow™, allows your foot to slide in effortlessly.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The knit upper is not waterproof. They are designed for general wear and light weather conditions. For heavy rain, water-resistant footwear would be more appropriate.
Can I wash these trainers in the washing machine?
Yes, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and allow them to air dry.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®' feature?
The Heel Pillow® is a soft, cushioned area in the heel of the shoe that helps to secure your foot comfortably and contributes to the hands-free slip-on functionality.
Are these trainers vegan?
Yes, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are made with 100% vegan materials.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® cushioning and Comfort Pillar Technology™?
ULTRA GO® cushioning refers to the lightweight, responsive foam that provides overall shock absorption. Comfort Pillar Technology™ consists of distinct, high-rebound pillars in the outsole that add enhanced support and stability with each step.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt. If initially snug, wear them for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot. If too loose, consider using a thinner sock or an insert.
Difficulty slipping feet in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is fully accessible and try sliding your foot in smoothly without forcing it. Wearing thin socks can sometimes help with initial entry.
Insole feels flat after prolonged use.
While durable, insoles can compress over time. For extended wear and support, consider purchasing separate supportive insoles compatible with athletic shoes.
Material shows wear quickly.
Avoid exposing the shoes to abrasive surfaces or excessive friction. For cleaning, use the recommended machine wash or damp cloth method to preserve the material.
