Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are specifically designed for walking and offer excellent cushioning and support for that purpose. They are not recommended for high-impact activities like running, as they lack the specialized features and structure required for such sports.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
You can gently clean the insole with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
What does 'vegan walking style' mean?
It means the shoe is constructed without using any animal-derived materials. This model features a flat knit upper and other components that meet vegan standards.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are designed to provide enhanced stability and responsive cushioning, contributing to a smoother and more supportive walking experience by absorbing impact and returning energy.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® and other Skechers cushioning technologies?
ULTRA GO® is a lightweight and responsive cushioning technology specifically optimized for walking, providing high-rebound properties and durability. It differs from other technologies that might be tailored for different types of athletic activities.
How durable are the fixed stretch laces?
The fixed stretch laces are designed to be durable and provide a secure, easy-on fit. They offer enough flexibility for comfortable wear but are not adjustable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The knit upper is designed to be flexible, but if discomfort persists, try wearing thinner socks or consider alternative Skechers models with adjustable lacing.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole and ULTRA GO® midsole are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider cleaning the insoles and ensure they are properly positioned. For significantly worn cushioning, it may be time to replace the shoes.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
While designed for easy on/off, ensure the heel counter is pulled back and the foot is aligned correctly. The fixed stretch laces offer some give, but a snug fit is expected for optimal support.
Sole appears worn or damaged.
Inspect the Ultra Pillars® and midsole for any signs of excessive wear or damage. If the structural integrity of the sole is compromised, it is recommended to replace the trainers for safety and continued performance.

- Material Care: The polyester knit upper should be treated gently to preserve its flexibility and breathability.
