FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK Flex™ - Ultra are designed primarily for walking and light activities. While they offer flexibility and cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and structure required for rigorous running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for walking. There should be about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for light splashes or damp conditions but are not recommended for heavy rain or puddles, as water can easily penetrate the mesh.
Are these shoes truly vegan?
Yes, the product description states these are vegan walking designs, meaning they are made without any animal-derived materials.
What is the main difference between GO WALK Flex and other Skechers lines?
The GO WALK Flex series generally emphasizes enhanced flexibility and lightweight cushioning for walking comfort. The 'Ultra' variant specifically highlights the ULTRA GO® cushioning and Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole for superior comfort and breathability.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after accumulating dirt or sweat. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can maintain their appearance. Deeper cleaning of insoles should be done when they feel less fresh or show signs of wear.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is flat, measuring under 2.5cm, which promotes a natural foot position and stability during walking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Due to the fixed stretch laces, adjustability is limited. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor tightness, wearing thinner socks might help. For looseness, consider adding an insole or a heel grip insert if available.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed for durability. If cushioning feels reduced, the insoles may need cleaning or replacement. Ensure proper care as per instructions to prolong the life of the cushioning.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The Flex Pillars™ outsole is designed for multi-surface traction, but performance can vary on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider aftermarket traction solutions designed for footwear.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, which can damage the mesh and internal cushioning.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and performance of your GO WALK Flex™ - Ultra trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the heathered mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning the Insole: The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can be removed (if possible) and hand-washed with cool water and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris from the EVA outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
