FAQs
Are these shoes truly hands-free to put on?
Yes, the Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® design with the Heel Pillow® allows you to step into the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer good cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. For serious running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the trainers if they get dirty?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. Ensure they are air-dried; do not put them in a dryer.
Are these trainers suitable for wet weather?
The textile and synthetic knit upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider shoes with water-resistant materials.
What does 'vegan' mean in relation to these shoes?
It means the shoes are constructed using only synthetic and textile materials, without any animal-derived products.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The ULTRA GO® midsole and Goga Mat™ insole are designed for durability. With normal use and proper care, they should provide comfortable cushioning for many months of regular wear.
What is the difference between GO WALK 8 and other GO WALK models?
The GO WALK 8 series generally features updated cushioning technology like ULTRA GO® and improved insole designs (like Air-Cooled Goga Mat™) compared to older versions, offering enhanced comfort and responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is designed to conform to your foot over time. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to stretch and mold to your foot shape.
Difficulty slipping feet in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is correctly positioned and that your heel is aligned. Sometimes, a slight pull on the heel tab can help.
Insole feels less supportive than expected
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If the support is still insufficient, consider using an aftermarket insole designed for higher arch support.
Tread wears down quickly
These trainers are primarily designed for smooth surfaces. Excessive use on rough terrain can accelerate tread wear. Stick to intended use for longevity.
