FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK Flex - Ultra Sneaker is designed primarily for walking and casual comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of running, which typically requires specialized running shoe features for impact absorption and stability.
How do I clean the heathered mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution applied with a cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or replacement insoles if desired, provided they are of a similar thickness.
What does 'vegan' mean in this context?
The 'vegan' designation means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the manufacturing of this specific shoe model.
How durable is the Flex Pillars™ outsole?
The Flex Pillars™ outsole is designed for durability on multi-surfaces for walking and casual use. Its lifespan will depend on the frequency and type of use. Regular cleaning and avoiding harsh terrain will help maintain its condition.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The GO WALK Flex - Ultra generally offers a standard fit. Individuals with significantly wide feet might find them a bit snug. Checking customer reviews or trying them on in person, if possible, is recommended.
How do I care for the Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
The insole can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. It's designed for breathability and comfort, and regular spot cleaning will help maintain its freshness. Ensure it airs out properly after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
While the laces are fixed, ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If slightly tight, wearing thinner socks or allowing a brief break-in period may help. If too loose, consider adding a thin insole if compatible.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. To maintain optimal performance, follow the recommended care instructions to keep the shoes clean and dry. Consider replacing the insoles if the original cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Flex Pillars™ outsole offers multi-surface traction, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Insole Care: The Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole can typically be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole with a brush to remove any embedded debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
