FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are specifically designed for walking and feature cushioning and support optimized for that activity. For high-impact activities like running, a shoe designed for running would be more appropriate.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for comfort and breathability, making them suitable for wearing without socks.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The durability of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular walking, the ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed for long-lasting comfort. Following care instructions can help prolong the life of the shoe.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
Vegan means that the shoe is made entirely from textile and synthetic materials and does not contain any animal-derived products.
How often should I wash these trainers?
It is recommended to wash them only when necessary, such as when they appear visibly dirty or start to smell. Over-washing can potentially impact the material's integrity over time.
Will the knit upper stretch out over time?
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is designed to provide a flexible, comfortable fit. While it offers stretch, it is engineered to maintain its shape and provide support over time with proper care.
What is the main difference between GO WALK 8 and other Skechers walking shoes?
The GO WALK 8 series typically emphasizes advanced cushioning technologies like ULTRA GO® and Comfort Pillar Technology™, along with innovations like Hands Free Slip-ins® for enhanced ease of use and comfort during walks.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is not being obstructed. Try sliding your foot in smoothly without forcing it. The Stretch Fit® upper should provide flexibility.
Soles feel too firm initially
The ULTRA GO® cushioning and Comfort Pillars may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot.
Treadwear seems fast on certain surfaces
These trainers are optimized for walking and general use. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces may accelerate tread wear. Consider rotating with other footwear for varied activities.
Discoloration after washing
Ensure only cold water and mild detergent were used, and avoid direct heat during drying. Air drying away from sunlight should prevent significant discoloration.
