FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day Trainers are primarily designed for walking. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for running or high-impact activities.
How do I clean the shoes if they get dirty?
These trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry them. Avoid using a machine dryer.
Are the laces adjustable?
The laces are fixed stretch laces, designed for slip-on convenience. They are not intended for individual adjustment but provide a secure fit.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
A vegan design means that the materials used to construct the shoe do not contain any animal products or by-products.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with your preferred orthotics or a new pair of compatible insoles for extended comfort.
What is the main benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are designed to add high-rebound support and stability to the sole, enhancing comfort and responsiveness with each step, particularly useful during walking.
What is the difference between these and athletic shoes?
These trainers are optimized for walking comfort and ease of use. Athletic shoes are engineered for specific sports, offering specialized support, traction, and cushioning tailored to those activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear
The knit upper is designed to stretch slightly. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your foot's shape. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole may lose some of its responsiveness with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the insole with a new Skechers compatible insole or another supportive insert after significant wear.
Shoe does not feel supportive enough for long periods
While designed for walking, individual support needs vary. Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the shoe is not worn out. For additional support, consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure your heel is fully back in the shoe. The stretch laces are designed for a snug fit. If you consistently find them difficult to put on, you may need to consider a different style with more accommodating entry.
