FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are specifically designed for walking. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the necessary support or stability for running activities.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Skechers sizing chart for UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if desired.
Are these waterproof?
No, the flat knit upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are not designed for use in wet conditions.
How often should I wash my trainers?
Wash your trainers as needed when they appear dirty or start to smell. Avoid over-washing, as it can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the Skechers official website or the point of purchase for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.
Is the fit true to size for most people?
Generally, Skechers GO WALK trainers are known for a true-to-size fit, but individual foot shapes can vary. Using the sizing guide and reading customer reviews can help ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Slightly loose fit
Tighten the fixed stretch laces as much as possible. If still too loose, consider using thicker socks or an insole insert for a snugger feel.
Insole feels too firm initially
The Skechers Air-Cooled Goga Mat™ insole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and they should become more comfortable.
Tread wear after extended use
Normal wear and tear will occur. For significantly worn tread, consider replacement for optimal grip and performance.
Discoloration after washing
Ensure only cold water and mild detergent are used. Avoid direct sunlight during air drying, which can sometimes cause fading. If discoloration persists, it may be due to the detergent or water quality.
