Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo trainers are designed for adult men seeking comfortable, laceless footwear for everyday walking and casual wear. Their key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design, allowing for effortless on-and-off. A potential caveat is that, like many knit uppers, they may require careful cleaning to maintain their appearance. These vegan slip-on trainers feature Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, a supportive Heel Pillow®, a Stretch Fit® knit upper, a cushioned Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, and lightweight ULTRA GO® midsole cushioning with high-rebound Ultra Pillars® for enhanced support.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK 8 trainers are designed for walking and casual wear, offering excellent cushioning for these activities. They are not designed for high-impact running, which requires specialized footwear for adequate support and shock absorption.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed for additional support.
How durable is the knit upper?
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is designed for flexibility and breathability. While generally durable for everyday use, it can be susceptible to snagging on sharp objects. Handle with care to maintain its appearance.
Are the shoes waterproof?
These trainers feature a breathable knit upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider a water-resistant or waterproof shoe option.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
The 'vegan' designation means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these shoes.
How often should I wash these trainers?
You can wash them as needed when they appear dirty or start to feel less fresh. Frequent washing can eventually wear down materials, so it's best to wash them only when necessary.
Will the Heel Pillow® be uncomfortable?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to provide soft cushioning and a secure fit around the heel. Most users find it enhances comfort by preventing heel slippage and providing a gentle embrace.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Stretch Fit® upper will adapt to your foot shape over time. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel is fully pushed down into the Heel Pillow®. Avoid bending the heel counter inwards. If the shoe is excessively tight for your foot width, consider a different size or model.
Insole feels less cushioned after extended use
While designed for durability, insole cushioning can decrease over time. Consider replacing the insole with a new Skechers compatible insole if needed.
Machine washing caused slight discoloration
Use only cold water and mild detergent. Avoid washing with heavily colored items. Always air dry away from direct sunlight or heat, which can affect color.
