Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day Sneaker is primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for the higher impact and specific support needs of running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably. Your heel should not slip excessively, and there should be enough room in the toe box to wiggle your toes. As these have fixed laces, ensure the width is also comfortable.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.
How often should I wash these trainers?
Wash as needed when they appear dirty or begin to smell. Frequent washing is not usually necessary and can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials if done too often.
What does 'fixed stretch laces' mean?
This means the laces are elastic and pre-tied or permanently attached, offering a slip-on design. They provide a secure fit without the need for manual tying and adjusting.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day Sneaker is not waterproof. The textile and synthetic upper is breathable but will allow moisture to pass through in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The flat knit upper and fixed laces are designed for a snug fit. Wear them for a short period to allow them to conform to your foot shape. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width might be more suitable.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Insoles may lose some of their responsiveness with prolonged use. Ensure the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, replacement insoles can be considered.
Shoes do not dry properly after washing
Ensure shoes are not exposed to direct heat. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area. Stuffing them with plain paper (no ink) can help absorb moisture and speed up the drying process. Do not place them in a clothes dryer.
