FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the GO WALK 8 - Nova Trainers are specifically designed for walking and casual comfort. They lack the specialized support and structure required for running.
How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?
The shoes feature a unique Heel Pillow® that gently holds your heel in place, allowing you to slide your foot in effortlessly without bending down or using your hands.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed to be breathable and comfortable against the skin, making them suitable for sockless wear.
What is the main difference between GO WALK 8 and GO WALK 8 - Nova?
The 'Nova' designation typically refers to specific design elements or colorways within the GO WALK 8 series, such as the Stretch Fit® knit upper and the Heel Pillow® for the slip-in feature.
How long does the cushioning last?
The ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed for durability. However, like all cushioning, its effectiveness may decrease over extended periods of heavy use. Regular walking will allow for long-term performance.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for heavy rain or puddles.
What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
It means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Stretch Fit® upper and Heel Pillow® may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and they should conform to your foot.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly within the Heel Pillow®. Sometimes a slight wiggle or the use of a sock can help the first few times.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
The insoles are designed for high rebound. If cushioning significantly decreases, consider replacing the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole with a new compatible insole.
Shoes develop an odor
Ensure the shoes are completely dry after washing or after a long day's wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda overnight to absorb odors.
