FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer great cushioning for walking, they are not specifically designed for high-impact running. For dedicated running, consider trainers with more specialized support and features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The slip-in design and Heel Pillow™ aim for a snug yet comfortable fit. Your heel should feel secure without slipping. If your heel lifts excessively or the front of your foot feels cramped, the size may not be ideal.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
No, the laces on this GO WALK Flex™ model are for decorative purposes only and are non-adjustable. The fit is primarily determined by the shoe's overall construction and the Heel Pillow™.
How long does the cushioning last?
The ULTRA GO® Foam and Air-Cooled Memory Foam® are designed for durability. However, like all footwear, performance may gradually decrease with extensive and prolonged use. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain their properties.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light splashes, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It signifies that the trainers are constructed without using any animal products or by-products.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is typically removable, which may allow space for some custom orthotics. However, it's best to check the specific insole thickness and the shoe's interior volume.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow™ and slide your foot forward smoothly. Wearing thin socks might help initially.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
As the laces are non-functional for adjustment, if the fit is significantly off, consider if this is the correct size. The design relies on the Heel Pillow™ for a secure fit.
Slight odor after wear
Due to the breathable design, odors are usually minimal. Ensure they are aired out after use. If persistent, machine wash them following the care instructions.
Mesh upper appears dirty after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. If stains persist, try pre-treating with a fabric stain remover suitable for synthetics before washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Machine Washable: Place the trainers in a washing machine, preferably in a mesh laundry bag. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry only; do not place in the dryer.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
