Can I machine wash these trainers?

What is the main difference between GO WALK 8 and other Skechers walking shoes?

Are these shoes suitable for standing all day?

What does 'vegan' mean in the product description?
'Vegan' means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort after initial wear
The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
Insole feels slippery
Ensure the insole is completely dry. If the issue persists, consider wearing thin athletic socks designed to improve grip.
Slight odor development
Remove the insoles and allow them to air out separately. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Regular cleaning will also help prevent this.
Shoe feels too loose despite laces
While the laces are fixed, they offer some flexibility. For a snugger fit, consider adding a heel grip insert or a thin insole for added volume.
