FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Day Trainers are specifically designed for walking and offer features optimized for comfort and support during walks. They are not intended for high-impact activities like running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers, typically based on UK or US men's sizing. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated and there's adequate room in the toe box without being too loose.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles are generally removable, allowing you to replace them with your preferred insoles if needed.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials were used in the construction of the trainers, making them suitable for individuals following a vegan lifestyle.
How often should I wash these trainers?
It is recommended to wash them only when they appear visibly dirty or develop an odor. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials and cushioning.
Will the fixed laces stretch out over time?
The stretch laces are designed to provide a secure yet flexible fit. While some natural stretching may occur with extended use, they are engineered to maintain their elasticity and supportive function.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose despite being slip-on.
While these feature fixed stretch laces, the fit is designed to be secure. If they feel significantly loose, ensure your foot is properly positioned within the shoe. For a more snug fit, consider using thicker socks.
Slight odor after prolonged wear.
Due to their breathability, odors are usually minimal. To combat this, ensure the shoes are aired out after each use. If persistent, consider using an antibacterial shoe spray or washing them according to the care instructions.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The cushioning technologies (ULTRA GO® and Goga Mat™) are designed for durability, but may naturally reduce over extended use. Ensure you are following the care instructions to maintain the materials. If cushioning significantly degrades, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Care Instructions:
