FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoe is designed with an internal structure (Heel Pillow™) that allows you to put on and take off the shoes simply by sliding your foot in, without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Are these shoes suitable for running or high-impact sports?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, the Skechers GO WALK 8TM - Nova trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. The flexible knit upper may not provide the necessary ankle and lateral support required for intense running or sports.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be applied gently, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is approximately 4.8 cm (about 1.9 inches).
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the knit upper is not waterproof. They are designed for breathable comfort and casual wear in dry conditions. They are not suitable for wet weather.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
Can I remove the Goga Mat insole?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for optimal comfort and support within the shoe. While some users may be able to remove it depending on the shoe's construction, it is generally recommended to keep it in place for the intended experience. If removed, ensure it's fully dry before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is in its intended position. Gently pull the heel tab and slide your foot in. If the shoe feels too tight, consider if it's the correct size or if the knit needs a short break-in period.
Slight odor after wear.
Remove the insoles and allow them to air out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoe overnight. Ensure the shoes are completely dry after wear.
Insole feels less cushioned over time.
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole provides high rebound but will naturally compress with extensive use. Cleaning the insoles as per care instructions can sometimes restore some of the initial feel. If significant degradation occurs, consider a replacement insole.
Color transfer from shoe to socks.
This can occasionally happen with new, dark-colored footwear. Washing the inside of the shoe lightly with cold water and allowing it to dry fully might help. It is more common with initial wears and may decrease over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no setup. Simply wear them as you would any slip-on shoe.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for walking and casual wear, they are compatible with most casual and athleisure outfits. They are suitable for adult women.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the knit material, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed (if possible, check shoe construction) and cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Material Care: Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the polyester, TPU, and elastane materials.
