FAQs
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
While some Skechers models are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean these with a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the heel pillow and memory foam.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking and casual activities. They do not offer the motion control or structural support required for high-intensity running.
How does the 'Relaxed Fit' compare to standard sizing?
The Relaxed Fit provides a bit more room in the toe box and forefoot, offering a comfortable, less restrictive feel compared to a traditional narrow athletic trainer.
Does the hands-free design wear out over time?
The molded heel panel is designed for durability; however, as with all footwear, avoid forcing your foot in excessively to prolong the lifespan of the heel structure.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles in this model are generally secured to provide stability during the slip-in process, so they are not designed to be easily removed or replaced.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure your foot is fully seated into the heel pillow; if slippage persists, the size may be too large.
Insole feels too soft or loses shape
Allow the shoe to rest for 24 hours between wears to let the Air-Cooled Memory Foam recover its structure.
Getting dirt on the textile upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a slightly damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on trainers, there is no setup required; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. The 'relaxed fit' indicates a slightly wider toe box, so consider your preferred sock thickness when choosing your size. To maintain the life of your Skechers GO WALK FLEX trainers, wipe the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh detergents. If the insoles become compressed after heavy use, they can sometimes be removed or replaced to extend the comfort life of the shoe. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent damage to the foam materials.
