FAQs
What is Skechers Arch Fit technology?
Arch Fit is a podiatrist-certified arch support system developed using 20 years of data and 120,000 unweighted foot scans. It provides exceptional comfort, stability, and support by molding to your foot for a customized feel.
Can I wear these sandals for long walks or all day?
Yes, the Arch Fit technology combined with superior cushioning is specifically designed to provide comfort and support, making these sandals suitable for long walks and all-day wear for most individuals.
How should I clean the linen material on my sandals?
We recommend spot cleaning the linen upper with a mild soap and a damp cloth. Gently blot the soiled area and allow the sandals to air dry completely in a shaded spot. Do not machine wash or put in a dryer.
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the linen upper and general construction of these sandals are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water to maintain their integrity and appearance.
Is the sizing standard for UK 5?
Skechers generally adheres to standard sizing. For UK size 5, it's recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, as individual foot shapes can influence comfort.
Can I use my own orthotics with these sandals?
The Arch Fit insole provides comprehensive arch support, often making additional orthotics unnecessary. Using separate orthotics might alter the intended fit and the benefits of the built-in Arch Fit system.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
While these sandals offer a comfortable fit, if you typically require a wide-fit shoe, we recommend trying them on to ensure adequate room and comfort, as they are not specifically advertised as a wide-fit model.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortable or unsupported after initial wear.
Arch Fit technology provides a specific type of support. It's normal for feet to need a short adjustment period (a few days to a week) to acclimate to the enhanced arch contour. Wear them for shorter periods initially, gradually increasing wear time.
Linen upper appears stained or dirty.
Gently spot clean the linen with a mild soap (like diluted dish soap) and a damp cloth. Blot the area rather than rubbing vigorously. Let them air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing.
Sandal feels too loose or too tight, even though it's the correct size.
While this specific model is designed for easy wear, ensure your foot is properly positioned within the footbed. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down if available, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Sandal develops an odor.
Ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing. Allow sandals to air out between uses. For mild odors, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the footbed overnight and shake it out in the morning.

Setup The Skechers Go Walk Arch Fit 2.0 Sandal requires no complex setup. Simply slide your feet into them and adjust any straps if present (this specific model features an easy wear design). Ensure your heel is comfortably seated in the footbed and your toes have enough room to move. ## Compatibility These sandals are designed for casual wear and pair well with a variety of relaxed outfits, including shorts, skirts, dresses, and capris. They are most compatible with warm, dry weather conditions due to their open-toed, breathable linen construction. They are not recommended for formal events, heavy-duty outdoor work, or extreme weather. ## Care To ensure the longevity and appearance of your linen sandals: 1. Spot Cleaning: Gently wipe the linen upper with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the fabric. 2. Drying: Allow the sandals to air dry completely in a shaded area. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use heat sources like hairdryers, as this can cause the linen to shrink or fade. 3. Deep Cleaning: For persistent dirt, a specialized fabric cleaner for linen may be used, following the product's instructions. 4. Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
