FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK Flex - Carla Sneaker is primarily designed for walking and casual comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support or stability required for rigorous running activities.
How do I know if the size is right without trying them on?
Refer to Skechers' official sizing chart for accurate measurements. Compare your foot length to the chart. As these are slip-ons, ensure you consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or a different insole if desired.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the athletic mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are not suitable for wear in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What does 'Heel Pillow®' mean?
The Heel Pillow® is a design feature integrated into the heel area of Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® shoes. It provides a comfortable, padded structure that helps the shoe stay on your foot securely when slipping them on and off hands-free.
How long do the 'Flex Pillars™' last?
The Flex Pillars™ are integrated into the ULTRA GO® midsole and are designed to be durable. Their lifespan will depend on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the surfaces walked upon.
Can I wear these with all types of socks?
You can wear them with various sock thicknesses. Thicker socks might make the fit feel tighter, while very thin socks might make them feel looser. Experiment to find what is most comfortable for you.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
While designed for a slip-on fit, the fixed stretch laces offer minimal adjustment. Consider if socks or insoles might alter the fit. For significant fit issues, other Skechers models with adjustable laces may be more suitable.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole and ensuring it's dry before reinserting. A small amount of powder under the insole might also help.
Machine washing instructions not followed, causing damage
Always use a gentle, cold cycle and air dry. Never use a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesives. If damage has occurred, professional repair may be needed, or consider replacement if the damage is extensive.
Reduced cushioning over time
Cushioning materials like Memory Foam can compress with prolonged use. Ensure proper care and avoid excessive wear in harsh conditions. If cushioning significantly degrades, it may be time to consider a new pair.
