Product Information

Full details

The Skechers Go Walk Flex Waterproof Trainers are designed for active adults who prioritize hands-free convenience and all-day walking comfort. These trainers provide an exceptional blend of responsive cushioning and reliable water protection, making them ideal for commuters or walkers who face unpredictable weather. The primary caveat is that while they feature a lace-up aesthetic, they are engineered as slip-ins, which may feel different than traditional performance athletic shoes if you prefer a highly adjustable, locked-in lacing fit.

FAQs

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is generally recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the waterproof technology and the structure of the heel counter.

Are these shoes true to size?

Skechers trainers generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer a roomier fit for thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.

Do I need to tie the laces?

No, these are designed as slip-ins. The laces are decorative and pre-set to maintain the correct fit for the hands-free system.

Are these suitable for long-distance running?

These are optimized for walking and daily comfort rather than high-impact athletic running.

Does the memory foam lose its shape over time?

The Air-Cooled Memory Foam is designed for durability, but like all cushioning, it will eventually compress depending on the frequency of use.

Troubleshooting

Heel feels loose when walking

Ensure you are using the Slip-in entry correctly; if the issue persists, the heel cup may have been stretched by manual forcing, which can be mitigated by ensuring proper alignment during the entry motion.

Interior dampness after heavy use

While the exterior is waterproof, ensure your socks are moisture-wicking; heavy perspiration can be trapped inside, so remove the insole occasionally to allow for deeper airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient hands-free entry system saves time and effort
  • Effective 100% waterproof protection for wet weather
  • Lightweight design prevents leg fatigue during long walks
  • Highly breathable interior thanks to air-cooled memory foam
  • Modern, versatile black design suitable for various environments

Cons

  • Not suitable for technical off-road hiking
  • Slip-in style may not provide the same tension as traditional tie-up laces
  • Waterproof membrane may feel warmer than standard mesh trainers in extreme heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required for most users. To maintain the waterproof efficacy and structural integrity of the shoe, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic and mesh upper with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them directly on radiators or use high-heat machines, as this can damage the memory foam and waterproof seal.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are dry before putting them away for extended periods to prevent odor build-up.
