FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day Trainers feature a breathable knit upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these specific trainers.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing guide. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Since these are slip-on, a snug but not tight fit is ideal.
What is the main difference between GO WALK 8 and previous models?
The GO WALK 8 series typically features updated cushioning technology (like enhanced ULTRA GO® and Goga Mat™), improved upper materials for better breathability, and potentially updated designs for style and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are fixed, ensure you have the correct size. If slightly too tight, wearing thinner socks or breaking them in may help. If too loose, consider adding a thin insole or using a heel grip insert.
Slight odor after use
Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. Baking soda can be sprinkled inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then vacuumed out.
Wear and tear on the knit upper
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. For minor scuffs, try a damp cloth. For larger issues, consult professional shoe repair services, though the knit material may be prone to snagging.

Care Instructions: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Spot clean the flat knit upper using a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
