Full details

The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and convenient footwear for walking. Their key benefit is the combination of lightweight cushioning and easy slip-on design, ideal for daily wear. A potential caveat is that the fixed stretch laces may not suit those who prefer a highly customizable fit. These vegan, machine-washable trainers feature a breathable flat knit upper, a supportive Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, and a responsive ULTRA GO® midsole with high-rebound Ultra Pillars® for enhanced comfort and stability.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are specifically designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or stability required for running activities.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other compatible insoles if needed.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Skechers and measure your foot length. These are UK men's sizes, so ensure you are referencing the correct measurement standard. The product information specifies UK 9 for this particular listing.

What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?

Vegan means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.

How often should I wash these trainers?

You can machine wash them as needed when they appear dirty or lose their freshness. Frequent washing is generally not required unless they become significantly soiled.

Will the fixed laces stretch out over time?

The stretch laces are designed to offer a snug yet flexible fit. They may adapt slightly to your foot's shape with wear, but they are not designed to be significantly loosened or tightened like traditional laces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

While the shoes feature fixed stretch laces, try adjusting the lacing slightly if possible. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or width if available.

Reduced cushioning over time

The ULTRA GO® midsole and Goga Mat™ insole are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are following care instructions to maintain material integrity. If significant compression occurs, it may be time to consider a replacement pair.

Difficulty slipping shoes on/off

Ensure your heel is fully back and the shoe opening is stretched slightly. If difficulty persists, a shoehorn can be helpful. Over time, the stretch laces may become more accommodating.

Material shows signs of wear quickly

Avoid using the trainers for activities beyond their intended purpose (e.g., intense sports, rough terrain). Clean regularly according to care instructions to prevent premature wear.
