Full details

Featuring signature Skechers slip-in technology and a comfort-focused heel pillow, these trainers are perfect for active daily wear; however, users should be aware that the textile construction is optimized for flexibility rather than heavy-duty weather protection or specialized athletic performance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While the materials are durable, it is best to check the specific care label. Generally, spot cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the molded heel.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These are designed for walking and casual wear; they lack the lateral stability required for heavy weightlifting or side-to-side court sports.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should remain securely in the molded panel without sliding out, and there should be a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Does the slip-in technology wear out?
The heel panel is designed for long-term durability, but avoid forcing your foot in aggressively to ensure the structure remains intact.
Are these available in half sizes?
Yes, sizes are available as per the product variants, including half sizes like 8.5 UK.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping out while walking
Ensure the heel pillow is not obstructed by socks or debris; verify you have selected the correct UK size.
Insole feels compressed over time
Remove the insole to air it out. If comfort significantly decreases, consider replacing the insert with a generic orthotic.
Mesh upper is attracting dust
Use a lint roller or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the fabric weave.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight feel reduces foot fatigue during long days
- Superior underfoot cushioning from the memory foam insole

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on trainers, no setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit. To keep your Go Walk Flex in peak condition:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove surface dust. For minor stains, gently spot-clean the polyester mesh with a mild detergent and cold water.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or aggressive solvents as they may damage the synthetic fibers.
- Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the memory foam or damage the heel panel.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the molded heel.
