Product Information
Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8 Nova Trainers are designed for adult women seeking supreme comfort and effortless wear for everyday walking. Their key benefit lies in the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology and lightweight cushioning, allowing for quick on-and-off. A potential caveat is that the laceless design may not offer the same level of adjustability as traditional lace-up shoes. These vegan, machine-washable trainers feature a breathable knit upper, a supportive insole, and responsive cushioning for enhanced walking experience.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the GO WALK 8 Nova trainers are specifically designed for walking and casual comfort. They lack the specialized support and structure required for running activities.
What does 'Vegan' mean for these shoes?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing process of these trainers.
How long do the cushioning and support typically last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage. For regular walking, the ULTRA GO® cushioning and Goga Mat™ insole are designed to provide comfort for many miles, but may show signs of compression after 6-12 months of consistent wear.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed to be breathable and comfortable against the skin, making them suitable for sockless wear.
What is the primary benefit of the Comfort Pillar Technology™?
This technology adds extra support and stability to the midsole and outsole, providing a responsive feel and reducing foot fatigue during long periods of walking.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel too tight across the width of your foot.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the GO WALK 8 series often comes in a variety of colorways. Please check the product listings for available colors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
While the Stretch Fit® upper offers flexibility, if the shoes feel significantly too tight or loose, it may be an incorrect size. Consider trying a half-size up or down. The laceless design does not allow for external tightening.
Difficulty slipping feet in initially.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is fully accessible and not obstructed. Gently guide your foot into the shoe, allowing the flexible upper to expand. The design is meant for hands-free entry, but a slight adjustment might be needed at first.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
The cushioning from the ULTRA GO® and Goga Mat™ may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing them after a significant period of wear, typically after 6-12 months of regular use, depending on mileage.
Shoes have an odor after washing.
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb lingering odors. Ensure adequate air circulation during drying.
