FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking, they are primarily designed for comfort and support during everyday activities and walking, not for high-impact running or athletic training.
What does 'Hands-Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can easily slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend over or use your hands to pull them on, thanks to the design of the heel and collar.
How do I know if I need Arch Fit support?
Arch Fit support is beneficial for individuals who experience foot fatigue, pain in the arch, or need better alignment during prolonged standing or walking. If you have moderate to high arches, you may benefit from this feature.
Can I replace the Arch Fit insole with a different one?
Yes, the Arch Fit insole is removable. You can replace it with your own custom orthotics or a different type of insole if needed, provided they fit the shoe's shape.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For everyday wear, the ULTRA FLIGHT® and Max Cushioning® are designed for durability. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive stress can help extend their lifespan.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers feature a mesh and synthetic upper which provides breathability. They are not designed to be waterproof, but they are machine washable for easy cleaning after getting wet.
What is the main difference between GO WALK and other Skechers lines?
The GO WALK line is specifically engineered for walking comfort, featuring lightweight designs, enhanced cushioning, and flexible outsoles optimized for the mechanics of walking.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel pillow is not obstructed and try wearing thinner socks. The shoe may need a brief break-in period.
Arch support feels too high or uncomfortable
This can be common initially. Try removing the Arch Fit insole and wearing the shoe with your own preferred insole or without one to see if it alleviates the discomfort. If the issue persists, consult a podiatrist.
Shoes do not dry properly after washing
Ensure shoes are placed in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources. You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb excess moisture during the drying process.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction. Check if any part of the sole is rubbing against itself or if the insole is slightly out of place. Powders like talcum powder can sometimes help if applied lightly to the insole.
