FAQs
What makes these trainers 'Hands Free'?
They feature Skechers' Hands Free Slip-ins® design with an internal Heel Pillow® that allows you to slide your foot in and out easily without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, they are primarily designed as walking shoes. For high-impact running, dedicated running shoes might provide more specialized support and features.
What does 'ULTRA GO® Cushioning' mean?
ULTRA GO® is Skechers' lightweight and responsive cushioning technology designed to provide comfort and energy return with every step.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, which may allow space for custom orthotics. However, fit can vary, so it's best to try them with your orthotics if possible.
How durable is the knit upper?
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is designed for flexibility and comfort. While generally durable for walking, it may be more susceptible to snags or tears from sharp objects compared to more robust materials.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®'?
The Heel Pillow® is a proprietary design feature within the heel collar that provides a comfortable, secure fit and enables the Hands Free Slip-ins® functionality.
Is the sizing listed (UK 2.5) for children or adults?
This specific product listing is for a UK children's size 2.5, although the shoe itself is designed for adult women. It is crucial to ensure this size is appropriate for your foot, as children's sizing can differ from adult sizing even when specified as 'adult'.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. Wear with thin socks or no socks. For a wider fit, consider if the Stretch Fit® upper will adapt sufficiently for your foot width.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Verify the correct size has been ordered. Consult the Skechers sizing chart for accurate measurements. The Stretch Fit® upper offers some flexibility, but the primary fit is determined by the size.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
The insoles and cushioning are designed for durability, but performance may decrease over time. Consider replacing the insoles for a refreshed feel, or explore newer models if significant wear is apparent.
Color transfer from secondary color (Purple) to primary (Beige)
This is a potential issue with two-tone dyed materials, especially when wet. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, and if it occurs, try gently cleaning the affected area with a damp cloth according to care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no setup. Simply wear them. The Hands Free Slip-ins® feature allows you to slide your foot in directly by pushing down on the heel area.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult women, the Skechers GO WALK 8 Nova is suitable for a wide range of foot shapes due to its Stretch Fit® knit upper. However, this specific variant is a UK children's size 2.5, so ensure this size is appropriate for your needs. Refer to Skechers sizing charts for accurate conversions.
Care Instructions:
These trainers are machine washable.
- Remove any loose dirt or debris.
- Place shoes in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase.
- Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Air dry completely. Do not place in the dryer or use direct heat, as this can damage the materials.
