Product Information
Full details
These Skechers GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are designed for adult women seeking supreme walking comfort and an easy, slip-on style. The key benefit is the hands-free entry combined with advanced cushioning and support for all-day wear. A potential consideration is that they are specifically designed for walking and may not offer the same support for high-impact athletic activities. Key features include Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology, a Heel Pillow® for secure fit, Stretch Fit® knit upper, Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole, and lightweight ULTRA GO® cushioning with Comfort Pillar Technology™.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?
The GO WALK 8 - Nova trainers are optimized for walking comfort and support. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific stability and support required for high-impact activities like running or intense gym workouts.
How do I ensure the best fit with the Stretch Fit® upper?
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt to your foot. It should feel snug but not tight. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snugger or looser fit. If unsure, consult the Skechers sizing chart.
Can I use bleach or harsh detergents when machine washing?
No, DO NOT use bleach or harsh detergents. Use a mild detergent and cold water on a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the materials and colors of the trainers.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means the shoes are designed so you can slide your foot in without bending down or using your hands to pull them on. The unique heel construction allows for easy entry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are made with a breathable knit upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and can be machine washed.
How often should I wash my GO WALK 8 trainers?
It is recommended to wash them as needed when they appear dirty or start to develop an odor. Over-washing might reduce the lifespan of the cushioning and materials, so clean them only when necessary.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® cushioning and Comfort Pillar Technology™?
ULTRA GO® cushioning refers to the lightweight, responsive midsole material. Comfort Pillar Technology™ utilizes specific high-rebound pillars within the outsole to provide enhanced stability and support during the walking stride.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not obstructed. Try wearing thin socks initially to help ease the fit. Gently stretch the knit upper around the ankle opening.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
The insoles may need cleaning or replacing. Follow machine washing instructions and air dry. If significant wear is present, consider replacing the insoles.
Shoes feel too loose or slip at the heel.
The Heel Pillow® is designed for a secure fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. For minor looseness, consider wearing slightly thicker socks.
Slight odor after washing.
Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. You can place them in a well-ventilated area or use a shoe deodorizer.
