FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Day trainers are primarily designed for walking and general comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or stability required for intense running activities.
How do I clean the trainers if they get dirty?
These trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry them afterward, avoiding heat sources.
Are the laces adjustable?
No, the GO WALK 8 - Day features fixed stretch laces for an easy slip-on design. They are not meant to be tied or adjusted like traditional laces.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
A 'Vegan' construction means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How does the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole differ from standard insoles?
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole provides enhanced high-rebound cushioning and superior breathability compared to standard insoles, promoting a cooler and more comfortable foot environment.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.
What is the primary benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The High-rebound Ultra Pillars® integrated into the midsole provide enhanced stability and a more responsive feel, supporting your stride during walking.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
While the laces are fixed, ensure you have selected the correct size. If a slight adjustment is needed, try wearing thicker or thinner socks. For significant fit issues, consider exchanging for a different size.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The outsole is designed for general traction. If slipping occurs on very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
Insole not providing enough support.
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole offers high-rebound cushioning. If you require more specific arch support, you may consider using aftermarket orthotic insoles compatible with the shoe's size.
Difficulty slipping feet in.
Ensure the heel collar is fully open before inserting your foot. If the opening feels restrictive, try using a shoehorn. The stretch fit should loosen slightly with wear.
