FAQs
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance is granted to products that have been found to be beneficial for foot health and promote quality craftsmanship. It signifies that the Skechers GO WALK Arch Fit 2.0 - Grand Sneaker has been evaluated by podiatric professionals.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as walking shoes, offering excellent support and cushioning for that purpose. While they can handle light jogging, they may not provide the specific features or support required for intense running activities.
Can the Arch Fit® insole be removed?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is designed to be removable, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics if needed, while still benefiting from the shoe's structure.
How long do the shoes typically last?
With proper care and regular use, these shoes are designed for durability. Lifespan can vary based on usage frequency, terrain, and adherence to care instructions, but they are built for sustained comfort and support.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, Skechers typically offers various colorways for popular models like the GO WALK Arch Fit 2.0 series. Please check the product listings for available colors.
Is the heather mesh upper waterproof?
The engineered heather mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. It is best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, water-resistant footwear would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear
The engineered mesh and Arch Fit® insole are designed to conform to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should become more comfortable. If they remain uncomfortably tight, consider trying a different size or style.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
The Heel Pillow® design provides a secure fit. Ensure your heel is positioned correctly. Gently wiggle your foot forward. The shoe will become easier to slip into with use as the materials break in.
Reduced cushioning or support after washing
Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried. Using a dryer can damage the cushioning and structural integrity. If the issue persists after proper drying, the shoe's lifespan for maximum cushioning may be nearing its end.
Odor development
The shoes are machine washable to help manage odor. Ensure they are thoroughly dried after washing. Using odor-reducing inserts or sprays can also help maintain freshness between washes.
