FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning and support for walking, they are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of the shoe.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking. It is recommended to try them on or consult a size guide.
Can I remove the insoles?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically integrated for optimal performance and cushioning. While some users might be able to carefully remove them, it is not recommended as it may affect the shoe's structure and support.
How often should I wash my GO WALK 8 sneakers?
Wash as needed, depending on usage and dirt accumulation. Regular washing can help maintain freshness and prolong the life of the shoe materials.
Will the fixed laces stretch out over time?
The stretch laces are designed to maintain their elasticity. While some natural wear might occur, they are generally durable. The shoe's fit is intended to be secure without the need for frequent tying.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
While the laces are fixed, slight adjustments to how the shoe is put on can help. For a tighter feel, ensure the heel is fully seated. For a looser feel, try not to pull the shoe on too forcefully. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot.
Insole feels hard or uncomfortable.
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for support and breathability. It may take a few wears to break in and conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, ensure the insole is correctly positioned. These shoes are not designed to accommodate custom orthotics if significant space is needed.
Smell develops after wear.
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Utilize the machine washable feature regularly. Allow shoes to air dry completely between wears, and consider using odor-absorbing inserts if the problem persists.
