FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and stability required for high-impact running activities.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers. These trainers are available in UK men's sizes. Based on the product information, this guide is for a UK size 8.5.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or replacement insoles if needed.
Are these waterproof?
No, the textile and knit upper is breathable and not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for heavy rain or puddles.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these trainers.
How often should I machine wash them?
Machine washing is recommended for cleaning when visibly dirty or after prolonged use. Avoid excessive washing, as it can accelerate wear and tear.
Do the stretch laces provide a secure fit?
Yes, the fixed stretch laces are designed to offer a secure and comfortable fit for most users, providing a snug feel without the need for manual adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit on initial wear
Wear the trainers around the house for a short period to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. The knit upper has some give.
Foot odor after use
Ensure the trainers are fully dry after washing. You can also use deodorizing sprays or powders designed for footwear. Regular washing as per care instructions will help.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While the cushioning is durable, it may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles if significant degradation occurs, or wash the shoes to refresh their feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply remove them from the box and wear. The fixed stretch laces provide a snug fit without the need for tying.
Compatibility: Suitable for men, particularly for walking and casual wear. They are designed to be worn with athletic socks or can be worn sockless due to their comfortable insole.
Care: To clean, place the trainers in a washing machine. It is recommended to use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. After washing, air dry them completely; do not use a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the materials and cushioning.
