FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK Flex™ - Ultra trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual comfort. They may not provide the specific support and cushioning required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the Skechers GO WALK Flex™ - Ultra trainers?
It is recommended to spot clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the insole with a damp cloth and air dry both completely. Avoid machine washing or direct heat.
Are these trainers true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It's advisable to check the UK size guide and consider reviews if available. The slip-on design offers some natural adaptation, but selecting the correct size initially is key.
What does 'Vegan-Friendly' mean for these shoes?
Vegan-friendly means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these specific trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they fit well within the shoe.
How durable is the ULTRA GO® cushioning?
ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed to be lightweight and responsive, offering good durability for its intended use in walking and casual wear. Like all cushioning, its effectiveness may decrease with prolonged and heavy use over time.
What is the benefit of the Flex Pillars™ outsole?
The Flex Pillars™ on the outsole are designed to provide enhanced stability, support, and independent flexibility, allowing the sole to adapt to different surfaces and provide a more secure footing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are fixed, the stretch in the upper and the insole design offer some adaptability. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If minor tightness persists, wearing them for a short period may help them adapt to your foot. For looseness, they might not be the ideal fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The ULTRA GO® cushioning and Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole are designed for durability. If cushioning seems reduced, ensure the insoles are clean and properly seated. Over time, significant wear will naturally lessen cushioning; consider replacing the insoles or the shoes if extensive use has occurred.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The multi-surface outsole with Flex Pillars™ provides good traction, but no footwear is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Mesh upper becoming dirty
Refer to the 'Care' section for instructions on cleaning the mesh upper. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can prevent dirt buildup.
