Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo trainers are designed for adults seeking comfortable, laceless footwear for everyday wear and light activity. Their key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® technology combined with advanced cushioning for superior comfort and support. A potential caveat is that the Stretch Fit® upper may not provide the same level of firm support as traditional laced trainers for intense athletic activities. These vegan trainers feature a breathable knit upper, responsive cushioning, and enhanced support pillars, making them a practical choice for those prioritizing ease of use and comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking and casual wear. They offer good cushioning but may not provide the specialized support and stability required for high-impact running.
How do I clean my GO WALK 8 trainers?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. It's recommended to place them in a washing machine bag or pillowcase. Always air dry them completely and avoid using a dryer or harsh chemicals.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put on and take off the shoes without needing to use your hands or bend down. The design includes a special heel structure that allows your foot to slide in easily.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo trainers are described as vegan.
What is the purpose of the 'Heel Pillow®'?
The Heel Pillow® provides extra comfort and a secure fit around the heel, helping to keep the shoe in place and prevent it from slipping off during wear.
Can I replace the insole?
While the shoes are designed with a specific insole for comfort and support, you may be able to replace it with a compatible aftermarket insole if needed. However, doing so could potentially affect the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® and Goga Mat™?
ULTRA GO® refers to the lightweight, responsive midsole cushioning that absorbs impact. The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole provides breathable, high-rebound cushioning and an energized feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor tightness, wearing them for a short period can help them mold to your foot. For looseness, the Heel Pillow® should provide some security, but consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate.
Difficulty slipping foot in
While designed for hands-free entry, ensure the heel is properly aligned and the shoe opening is fully accessible. Gently pull the heel tab. If persistent, check if the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The traction may vary on different surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or very smooth floors. For improved grip on specific surfaces, consider aftermarket traction aids if necessary.
Insole feels flat after some use
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for breathability and rebound. If it flattens, ensure it is dry. If significant flattening occurs, replacement insoles may be considered, though this might affect the hands-free fit.
