FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not intended for high-impact running or intense athletic training where specialized support is needed.
How do the Hands Free Slip-Ins™ work?
The design includes a structured heel with an opening that allows you to easily slide your foot in without bending down or using your hands. An internal heel pillow then comfortably cradles your foot.
Can I put these trainers in the dryer?
No, it is important to air dry these trainers away from direct heat. Tumble drying can damage the materials and affect their shape and cushioning.
What makes the cushioning 'responsive'?
The 5GEN® cushioning technology provides both shock absorption and energy return, meaning it compresses to absorb impact and then springs back, helping to propel you forward with each step.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but comfortable, with your heel securely held by the heel pillow. Since they are slip-ons, a perfect fit is crucial. If they feel loose, a smaller size might be necessary.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made with breathable mesh uppers and are designed for dry conditions. They are machine washable for easy cleaning of dirt.
What is the main benefit of the 'Vela' model?
The 'Vela' designation often refers to specific design elements or colorways within the Go Walk Joy line. In this case, it's part of the Go Walk Joy series, emphasizing comfort and ease of wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
The heel pillow is designed to secure the foot. Ensure your heel is fully seated back. If still loose, consider trying a half-size down or using thicker socks.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially
While designed to be hands-free, a slight wiggle may be needed the first few times. Ensure the heel area is clear and push your foot firmly into the back of the shoe.
Insole not comfortable
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may take a short break-in period to conform to your foot's shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider if your foot arch requires additional support.
Shoes getting dirty
Follow the machine washable instructions: gentle cycle, cold water, mild detergent, and air dry. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
