Product Information
Full details
The Skechers GO WALK Flex trainers are designed for active adults seeking lightweight comfort and versatile style for cross-training and everyday wear. Their key benefit is the combination of responsive ULTRA GO cushioning and a breathable Air-Cooled Goga Mat insole, providing excellent support. A potential consideration is that the slip-on design with stretch laces, while convenient, may not offer the same locked-in feel as traditional lace-up shoes for highly intense activities.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While these trainers offer excellent cushioning for walking and light training, they are not specifically designed as marathon running shoes. For marathon distances, specialized running shoes with targeted support and cushioning are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the product sizing chart for Skechers or general UK shoe sizing guides. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding size. These trainers are designed for an adult male fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and construction.
What is the main difference between ULTRA GO cushioning and other Skechers technologies?
ULTRA GO cushioning is known for being exceptionally lightweight and responsive, providing a bouncy feel and excellent shock absorption. It's designed for comfort during active pursuits.
How breathable is the engineered mesh upper?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for high breathability, allowing air to circulate and help keep your feet cool and comfortable, especially during warmer weather or physical activity.
Do the stretch laces need to be tied?
No, the stretch laces are designed to provide a secure fit without the need for tying. They offer a slip-on convenience.
What type of activities are the flex pillars on the outsole best for?
The flex pillars on the outsole are designed to enhance traction and flexibility. They are particularly beneficial for multi-surface stability during activities like walking, training, and general movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Allow a break-in period as the materials will naturally adapt to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the tightness persists, consider if this is the correct size.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The ULTRA GO cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance can be perceived as reduced over time with heavy use. Ensure the insole is correctly positioned. Cleaning the insole may help restore some initial feel.
Slipping sensation during activity
While the stretch laces provide a secure fit, for highly intense activities, consider if a traditional lace-up trainer might offer more adjustability. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Carefully clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid vigorous scrubbing. Ensure the shoes are not over-tightened, which can stress the mesh.
