Full details
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - New World Sneaker is designed for adult males seeking convenient, comfortable, and flexible footwear for everyday walking. Its key benefit lies in the Hands-Free Slip-ins technology, allowing for effortless wear. A potential consideration is its specific design focus on walking, which might not be ideal for high-impact athletic activities. This sneaker features a lightweight ULTRA GO cushioning, an Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, an engineered mesh upper for breathability, and is both vegan and machine washable.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GO WALK Flex - New World sneakers are primarily designed for walking comfort and casual wear. They offer lightweight cushioning but may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
How do the Hands-Free Slip-ins actually work?
The shoes feature a specially designed, slightly firmer heel panel that allows you to slide your foot in without touching the shoe. The design helps the heel cup stay in place once your foot is inside.
Can I remove the insole?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is designed to provide cushioning and comfort. While some users may remove insoles, it is generally recommended to keep it in place for optimal performance and fit.
How long does the machine washable feature last?
The machine washable feature is part of the shoe's construction. Regular washing according to the care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle, air dry) should maintain this capability over the lifespan of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These sneakers are not designed to be waterproof. The engineered mesh upper offers breathability but will allow water to pass through. They are suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the main difference between GO WALK Flex and other Skechers lines?
The GO WALK Flex line emphasizes lightweight flexibility and enhanced cushioning specifically for walking. The 'New World' variant includes the Hands-Free Slip-ins feature for added convenience.
Are these shoes true to size?
Skechers generally runs true to size for most customers. However, foot shape can influence fit. It's recommended to consult size charts and consider trying them on if possible, especially given the specific UK size 14 in this listing.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the laces are loosened. Try pulling the heel tab back slightly as you insert your foot. The shoe may need a few wears to break in the heel counter.
Shoes feel too loose after wearing
Tighten the laces to achieve a more secure fit. The memory foam insole may compress slightly with initial use.
Uneven wear or discomfort
Verify you are wearing the correct size. Ensure the insole is properly seated. Consider if the shoe's intended use (walking) matches your activity.
Machine washing instructions unclear
Always use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Do not use a machine dryer. Check the shoe's internal tag for specific care symbols if available.
