FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and structure required for intense running activities.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed to be breathable and comfortable against the skin, making them suitable for sockless wear.
How do I ensure the best fit with the Stretch Fit® upper?
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt to your foot. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If you are between sizes, consider which fit feels most secure yet comfortable without being restrictive.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
This feature, combined with the Heel Pillow®, allows you to slide your foot into the shoe without bending down or using your hands to adjust the shoe.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
It is recommended to machine wash them only when necessary, such as after significant soiling or odor buildup, to prolong their lifespan. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is often sufficient for light dirt.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials, which means they are not intended for use in wet conditions where waterproofing is required.
What is the difference between GO WALK 8 and GO WALK 8 - Nova?
The GO WALK 8 - Nova specifically incorporates the Hands Free Slip-ins® design and the Heel Pillow® for enhanced ease of wear, alongside the other core GO WALK 8 technologies like ULTRA GO® cushioning and Goga Mat™ insoles.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow®. You may need to slightly adjust the shoe or your foot position. If the shoe feels too tight, double-check the sizing.
Insole feels too firm or too soft
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for specific cushioning. If it feels incorrect, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. For significant discomfort, consider if this particular model meets your cushioning needs.
Machine washing results in damage
Always use a gentle cycle with cold water and ensure the shoes are completely air-dried. Avoid using a dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and adhesive.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good grip, wet surfaces can be inherently slippery. Exercise caution when walking on wet floors, tiles, or icy conditions. These shoes are not designed for extreme weather.
