FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These sneakers are designed for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically designed for high-impact activities like running and may not provide the necessary support or durability for such use.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these Skechers GO WALK Flex - Safiya sneakers. Machine washing can damage the cushioning, insole, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins®' mean?
Hands Free Slip-ins® means you can easily slide your foot into the shoe without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on. The design of the heel allows for a quick and effortless entry.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but comfortable. Your heel should be securely cradled by the Heel Pillow®, and there should be enough room in the toe box for your toes to move freely without feeling constricted. Since they are slip-ons, ensure they are not too loose or too tight.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Skechers GO WALK Flex - Safiya sneakers are not waterproof. They are made with breathable knit materials, which are excellent for ventilation but do not offer protection against rain or significant moisture.
What is the difference between ULTRA GO® cushioning and Memory Foam™?
ULTRA GO® cushioning refers to the lightweight, responsive midsole that provides shock absorption and energy return for walking. Skechers Memory Foam™ is the insole that molds to the shape of your foot for personalized, step-in comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The Stretch Fit® upper is designed to adapt over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear and not obstructed. Try a slight twisting motion as you slide your foot in. If persistent, ensure you have the correct size.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The outsole grip may vary on very wet or polished surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might be affecting traction.
Insole is not as comfortable after some wear
The Memory Foam™ insole may compress over time. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot. For some users, adding a thin supportive insert might help, though this may affect the slip-on ease.
