FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The GO WALK Flex - Carla trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. They offer good cushioning for walking but lack the specialized support and stability features required for running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with the cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
Can I remove the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
Yes, the insole is typically removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
What is the main advantage of the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature?
The primary advantage is the convenience of putting on and taking off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands, making them ideal for individuals with mobility challenges or anyone seeking quick, easy footwear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to moderately damp conditions but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
What do the Flex Pillars™ do?
The Flex Pillars™ are integrated into the outsole to provide enhanced support and flexibility, promoting a more natural and stable stride during walking.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from an athletic mesh combined with a hotmelt overlay, offering a balance of breathability and structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially
The materials may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. The insole and cushioning are designed to adapt to your foot shape over time.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly in the Heel Pillow®. Try sliding your foot in at a slightly different angle. The slip-in design is intended for convenience but may require a specific motion.
Insole feels less cushioned after wear
The Memory Foam® insole contours to your foot. If you desire a different feel, ensure the insole is properly seated. For more persistent comfort issues, consider trying a different Skechers model.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
