FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, the laceless, slip-on design may not provide the secure fit and support needed for running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can usually be removed. It is best to hand wash it with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the shoe.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The knit upper is breathable and not designed to be water-resistant. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed with a special heel structure (including the Heel Pillow®) that allows you to easily slide your foot in and out without needing to bend down or touch the shoe with your hands.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the knit upper and cushioning technologies. It is best to clean them by hand.
Is the knit upper stretchy?
Yes, the trainers feature a Stretch Fit® knit upper, which is designed to provide a flexible, sock-like fit that adapts to the shape of your foot.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is aligned with the Heel Pillow®. Wiggling your foot gently can help. For a tighter fit, consider a half-size down if available and appropriate for your foot shape.
Foot feels loose or insecure
The laceless design provides a relaxed fit. If you require a more secure fit, these might not be the ideal choice for high-impact activities. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Reduced cushioning over time
The ULTRA GO® midsole and Goga Mat™ insole are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with heavy use. Consider replacing them if performance significantly degrades after extensive wear.
Material feels warm
While the knit upper and Goga Mat™ insole are breathable, prolonged activity in very hot conditions might cause warmth. Ensure socks worn are also breathable.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trainers are suitable for most everyday activities. They are compatible with a vegan lifestyle due to their material construction.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the Stretch Fit® knit upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the knit material.

- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the ULTRA GO® midsole and outsole. Stubborn marks can be gently scrubbed with a soft-bristled brush.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
