FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for comfort and support for walking, light training, and everyday wear. For high-impact, long-distance running like marathons, specialized running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot. Ensure there is a little room at the toe and the heel feels secure without slipping. The fit should be snug but not tight.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed to be breathable and comfortable against the skin, making them suitable for sockless wear.
Are the materials vegan?
Yes, the description states these trainers are made with vegan materials.
What is the main benefit of Glide-Step®?
Glide-Step® refers to the geometric design of the midsole, which is engineered to provide smooth transitions from heel to toe and enhanced stability during your stride.
How long should the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature last?
The Hands Free Slip-ins® feature is designed for durability with regular use. Avoid excessive force or prying when putting them on or taking them off to ensure longevity.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® cushioning and Max Cushioning®?
ULTRA GO® cushioning provides lightweight, responsive cushioning, while Max Cushioning® refers to the overall platform designed to maximize shock absorption and energy return for enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
This is common due to the structured heel and cushioning. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot. Gentle stretching exercises can also help.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the heel tab is fully down and you are pushing your foot straight in. Avoid trying to force your foot. The Heel Pillow® design may require a specific angle for entry.
Reduced cushioning after washing.
Ensure the shoes are air-dried completely away from direct heat. If the cushioning feels compacted, try walking in them to help it regain its form.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While the Goodyear® outsole offers high traction, very smooth or wet surfaces can still reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. Simply wear them as you would any other shoe. The Hands Free Slip-ins® feature allows you to slide your foot in by placing the heel against the back of the shoe.
Compatibility:
Designed for a women's foot, these trainers are suitable for adult users. They are compatible with a range of activities from walking and light training to casual wear. The vegan construction means they are suitable for those seeking animal-free products.
Care Instructions:
These shoes are machine washable. For best results:
- Place shoes in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase.
- Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Air dry only. Do not place in the dryer or use direct heat, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
