FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The GO WALK 8TM trainers are designed for walking and general comfort. They are not intended for high-impact running activities, as they lack the specialized support and structure for such use.
Can I adjust the fit if they feel too loose?
These are slip-on trainers with a Stretch Fit® upper and no laces, meaning the fit is not adjustable. If they feel too loose, it may indicate they are not the correct size or width for your foot.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put on and take off the trainers without using your hands, thanks to the design of the heel and collar.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before wearing.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light, incidental moisture.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 4.8 cm (or about 1.9 inches).
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the product description states they are a 'sporty vegan slip-on', indicating they are made without animal-derived products.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping feet in
Ensure your heel is fully back and the sock is smooth. The Stretch Fit® upper may require a slight pull to expand initially.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and fit.
Reduced cushioning over time
While durable, extreme wear can impact cushioning. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes for longevity.
Material appears dirty
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush with the cleaning solution.
