FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8 Nova are optimized for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and shape.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can easily slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on, thanks to the design of the heel counter and collar.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The knit upper is breathable, which means it will allow air to pass through, but also moisture if exposed to heavy rain or standing water.
What is the purpose of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are part of the Comfort Pillar Technology™ and are designed to provide added support, stability, and responsiveness underfoot, enhancing the overall walking experience.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Stretch Fit® knit upper offers some flexibility, but these trainers are generally designed for a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, they may feel snug.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from a two-tone Stretch Fit® knit material, designed for flexibility and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is designed to adapt. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to stretch and conform to your foot shape.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is pushed down slightly as you insert your foot. Wearing thin socks can also help initially.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
Ensure the insole is clean and dry. If significant wear is apparent, consider replacing the insole with a compatible one.
Slight color variation from online images
Due to screen settings and lighting, colors may appear slightly different. The taupe/purple combination is designed to be subtle.
