Product Information
Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are designed for adult men seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for walking. Their key benefit is the lightweight, cushioned design that promotes a springy step, making them ideal for everyday wear. A potential caveat for some users might be the fixed stretch laces, which offer an easy-on experience but less adjustability than traditional laces. These vegan-friendly trainers feature a breathable flat knit upper, a high-rebound Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, and a lightweight ULTRA GO® midsole with Ultra Pillars® for enhanced support.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan materials mean that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes. They are made entirely from synthetic and plant-based materials.
How do I ensure the best fit?
These trainers feature a relaxed fit with a flexible upper. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. The fixed laces offer a secure fit, but the knit material provides some give.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can typically be removed, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles if needed. However, this may slightly change the shoe's fit.
How often should I wash these trainers?
You can machine wash them as needed, typically when they appear dirty or start to develop an odor. Frequent washing is not usually necessary and excessive washing can shorten the lifespan of any footwear.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the GO WALK 8™ series comes in various colorways, including Blue/Red, to suit different preferences. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
While the laces are fixed, the flexible knit upper and cushioning offer some adaptation. For a slightly looser feel, ensure the internal padding is not compressed. If they feel too tight, consider wearing thinner socks. If they consistently do not fit well, this model may not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Insole feels uncomfortable or lacks support.
Ensure you have worn the shoes for a short period to allow the cushioning to mold to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider using a different insole designed for walking support, but be aware this may alter the shoe's fit and feel.
Difficulty cleaning white/black colorway.
For machine washing, use a cold, gentle cycle. For spot cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the knit material or color.
