FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking and light activities, they are not designed for the high impact and specialized support required for marathon running. For such activities, a dedicated running shoe is recommended.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash Skechers gowalk Flex shoes, as it can damage the cushioning and materials. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide provides footwear in UK size 7, but other sizes may be available for different models.
What is the main difference between Ultra Go cushioning and Goga Mat insole?
Ultra Go cushioning refers to the midsole foam that provides lightweight, responsive shock absorption. The Goga Mat insole is the breathable footbed that sits inside the shoe, offering additional comfort and rebound with its high-rebound cushioning.
How durable are the flex pillars on the sole?
The flex pillars are designed for traction and flexibility on various surfaces. Their durability is suitable for regular walking and cross-training, but excessive wear on rough terrain may accelerate wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The engineered mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to water may affect performance and material longevity.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation or lack of support
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For additional support, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for athletic use.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Verify the shoes are fully broken in. If discomfort persists, the cushioning or support level may not be ideal for your specific foot type or activity.
Odor development
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a fabric refresher spray designed for shoes, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Material scuffing or damage
Avoid exposing the shoes to abrasive surfaces or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
