FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used for short distances on roads, the Skechers GO RUN Trail Altitude 2.0 is primarily designed for trail running. The aggressive outsole pattern provides optimal grip on natural terrain and may feel less comfortable or efficient on pavement.
What does '20% recycled content by weight' mean for the shoe?
This means that at least 20% of the shoe's total weight comes from recycled materials, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing waste.
How do I clean the leather and mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for general cleaning. For tougher dirt on mesh, a soft brush can be used gently. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
It's an insole technology that provides high-rebound cushioning, offering excellent energy return and comfort for your feet during activity.
How durable is the water-repellent feature?
The water-repellent treatment offers initial protection against light moisture. Its effectiveness can decrease with prolonged use and cleaning. Reapplication of a footwear-specific water-repellent spray can help maintain this function.
Can I replace the insole if needed?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable. You can replace it with your preferred compatible insole if necessary, though this might alter the shoe's original feel and cushioning.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
Moisture-wicking athletic socks made from materials like polyester blends or merino wool are recommended to help keep your feet dry and comfortable, especially during trail runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of athletic socks. For initial wear, a break-in period might be needed, especially for leather components.
Traction feels insufficient on a specific surface.
The aggressive traction is optimized for trails. On very smooth or wet hard surfaces, grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can affect performance.
Water-repellent properties seem diminished.
Water repellency can decrease over time and with wear. Consider re-applying a suitable water-repellent spray for footwear to restore this feature.
Insole feels uneven or causes discomfort.
Check that the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is correctly seated. If issues persist, it may be possible to remove it and use a compatible aftermarket insole, though this may affect the shoe's original cushioning characteristics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for trail running and outdoor activities. While compatible with various sock types, moisture-wicking socks are recommended for best results.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt and debris from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or dry cloth.
- For minor stains or dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Wipe clean and allow to air dry.
- Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's performance and water-repellent properties.
- Do not expose to direct heat (like radiators or hairdryers) to dry, as this can cause materials to warp or crack. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
- To maintain water repellency, consider using a fabric protector spray specifically designed for outdoor footwear periodically.
