FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK 8™ - Day Sneaker is designed specifically for walking. While they offer cushioning, they lack the specialized support and structure required for running and may not provide adequate protection for high-impact activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart available on their official website. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Can the insoles be removed?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically integrated for optimal support and cushioning. While some users may be able to carefully remove them, it is not recommended as it can affect the shoe's structure and intended performance.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the GO WALK 8™ - Day Sneaker is not designed to be waterproof. The flat knit upper offers breathability but will allow water to penetrate. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
The 'vegan' designation means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of this shoe, including the upper, lining, and sole components.
How often should I clean my GO WALK sneakers?
Clean your sneakers as needed, based on usage and visible dirt. Regular spot cleaning of the upper and outsole will help maintain their appearance and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
The fixed stretch laces are designed for a snug fit. If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a different size or model with adjustable laces. Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning is designed to be durable. However, with extensive use, some compression may occur. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose, such as high-impact sports.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole provides specific support. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. It may take a short break-in period for the insole to conform to your foot.
Traction issues on slippery surfaces
While the outsole provides good traction, no shoe is completely slip-proof. Exercise caution on wet or very smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply slip them on; no lacing adjustments are needed due to the fixed stretch laces.

Care: To maintain the appearance and performance:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and scuffs from the knit upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
- Insole Care: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are aired out after use to maintain freshness and prevent odor.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
