Full details
The Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo trainers are designed for adult men seeking a comfortable, stylish, and easy-to-wear slip-on shoe for everyday activities. Their key benefit is the hands-free slip-in design combined with advanced cushioning for all-day comfort. A potential caveat is that the knit upper, while breathable, may offer less water resistance in wet conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning for walking, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo are primarily designed for casual wear and light walking. They may not provide the necessary support or stability for rigorous running activities.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The knit upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, it is recommended to wear shoes with water-resistant materials.
What is the primary benefit of the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is designed to securely hold your heel in place, providing a comfortable and stable fit while enhancing the Hands Free Slip-ins® functionality.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Skechers. Generally, they should feel snug but comfortable, with your heel securely held by the Heel Pillow® and enough room in the toe box.
Are these shoes entirely vegan?
Yes, the Skechers GO WALK 8 - Pelayo are described as vegan, meaning they are made without any animal-derived materials.
What is the benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are located on the outsole and provide enhanced responsiveness and stability, working with the midsole cushioning to offer a comfortable and supportive stride.
How often should I machine wash these trainers?
Machine washing can be done as needed when they appear dirty. However, frequent washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the cushioning materials. Air drying is crucial after washing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
The Stretch Fit® upper offers some flexibility. If they feel too tight, wear them for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot. If too loose, ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cupping your heel; consider wearing thicker socks. As these are slip-ons, a precise, adjustable fit like lace-up shoes is not possible.
Reduced cushioning over time
The insoles and midsole are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For maintenance, ensure they are cleaned regularly. If significant cushioning loss occurs, consider replacing the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole with a compatible aftermarket insole.
Difficulty slipping the shoes on
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is flexible and in its intended position. Try wearing thinner socks. If the shoes are new, the Heel Pillow® might be stiffer and require a few wears to break in.
Machine washing not cleaning effectively
Use a mild detergent and ensure the washing machine is set to a gentle cycle with cold water. Pre-treat any heavy stains with a spot cleaner before washing. Ensure the shoes are fully dried afterward to prevent odor.
