Full details
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - Master trainers are designed for adults seeking effortless comfort and style in their footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense athletic training?
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - Master trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual everyday wear. They offer comfort and flexibility but may not provide the necessary support and lockdown for high-impact activities like running or sports.
How do I clean the white and red colourway without causing discolouration?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Ensure you rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth and air dry completely away from direct heat to prevent discolouration or material damage.
Can the laces be tied or adjusted?
These trainers feature no-tie stretch laces designed for convenience. While they offer some flexibility, they are not meant to be tied or significantly adjusted like traditional shoelaces.
What is the benefit of the 'Heel Pillow®'?
The Heel Pillow® is a feature designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit around the heel, preventing slippage and enhancing overall stability when walking.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is breathable and designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for use in wet conditions where waterproof protection is needed.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How does the ULTRA GO® Foam cushioning compare to other Skechers cushioning?
ULTRA GO® Foam is Skechers' lightweight and responsive cushioning technology, offering excellent energy return and comfort for walking. It provides a slightly firmer yet highly protective feel compared to softer, more traditional foam compounds.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is properly aligned with the Heel Pillow®. Gently pull the heel tab upwards if needed. For a slightly looser fit, the stretch laces can be carefully adjusted, though this is not their primary function.
Insole feels uncomfortable or too flat
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's overall fit is correct. These shoes are not designed for custom orthotics that significantly alter the footbed.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces
The dual-density outsole provides traction, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean. For added grip, consider specialized shoe care products designed for rubber soles, used sparingly.
Mesh upper snagged or torn
Minor snags can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small scissors. Significant tears in the engineered mesh may not be repairable without compromising the shoe's integrity and may require replacement.
Foul odor developing
Remove the insole and air dry both the insole and the shoe thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. Use a shoe deodorizer or a light sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoe overnight, then shake out. Regular cleaning also helps prevent odor.
