FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While these trainers offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for walking and casual wear. For running, it is recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for that activity to ensure proper support and impact protection.
How do I clean the Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers?
These trainers are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. It is crucial to air dry them completely away from heat and direct sunlight.
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the Skechers GO WALK 8™ - Day trainers are specified as vegan, meaning they are made without animal-derived products.
What is the benefit of the Ultra Pillars®?
The Ultra Pillars® are integrated into the midsole to provide enhanced support and stability, contributing to a more comfortable and less fatiguing walking experience.
Can I replace the insoles?
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is integrated for optimal performance. While it's not designed for easy removal, some users may be able to fit alternative insoles if needed, though this could affect the shoe's intended fit and support.
How durable are the fixed stretch laces?
The fixed stretch laces are designed to be durable and maintain their elasticity for easy slip-on wear. They should provide a secure fit without stretching out excessively over time with proper care.
What is the purpose of the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole?
This insole is designed to provide high-level cushioning and breathability. The 'Air-Cooled' aspect promotes airflow to help keep your feet dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
The fixed stretch laces offer a secure fit. If the shoes feel too tight, ensure they are the correct size. Consider trying a half-size larger if available. As the knit upper is flexible, they may loosen slightly with wear.
Insole feels too firm
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is designed for support and rebound. If it feels firm initially, this is normal. It should conform to your foot with a few wears. If persistent discomfort occurs, ensure you have the correct size.
Machine washing results in issues
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry the shoes completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can damage the materials and cushioning.
Reduced cushioning after some use
The ULTRA GO® midsole and Ultra Pillars® are designed for durability, but heavy use can eventually compress them. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain their integrity. If significant loss of cushioning occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
