FAQs

Do I need to use my hands to put these shoes on?

No, the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins technology is designed specifically so you can step into the shoe without needing to use your hands.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

While many Skechers are machine washable, it is recommended to spot clean the knit upper to maintain the longevity of the Heel Pillow and midsole materials.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GO WALK 8 is optimized for walking and daily wear. It lacks the lateral stability and specific support features required for distance running.

Is the sizing consistent with other brands?

Skechers generally fits true to size, but the Stretch Fit knit material may feel slightly more accommodating than rigid leather shoes.

Do the insoles come out?

Yes, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.

Does the Pelayo model offer arch support?

The combination of the Goga Mat insole and Ultra Pillars provides moderate, responsive arch support suitable for daily walking.

Troubleshooting

Heel slipping while walking

Ensure you are using the correct UK size. If the fit feels loose, consider using a thin aftermarket insole to occupy additional space.

Knit material appearing stretched or misshapen

Avoid wearing these shoes in extreme wet or muddy conditions, as excessive moisture can loosen the knit fibers. Clean and let air dry completely before the next use.

Insole feeling compressed over time

Remove the insole and let it air out for 24 hours to recover its shape. If performance does not improve, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat insoles are typically removable and replaceable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless hands-free entry and exit
  • Lightweight design reduces foot fatigue during long walks
  • Breathable knit upper prevents overheating
  • High-rebound cushioning provides excellent energy return
  • Modern aesthetic with two-tone gradient detail

Cons

  • No traditional laces for adjustable tension
  • Knit upper may offer less lateral stability than structured leather trainers
  • Not intended for technical trail running or heavy gym lifting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no "setup" beyond pulling them on, thanks to the slip-in design. Regarding compatibility, the neutral, low-profile aesthetic in the olive green finish pairs well with casual trousers, jeans, or athleisure wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean the knit upper using mild soap and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the cushioning materials and adhesives.
  • Maintenance: To maintain the shape of the Heel Pillow, store the shoes in a cool, dry place and avoid crushing the heel counters under heavy objects.
