Product Information
Full details
These Skechers GO WALK 8 Nova trainers are designed for women seeking exceptional comfort and ease of use for daily walking and casual wear. The key benefit is the Hands Free Slip-ins® design, allowing for effortless on and off, combined with advanced cushioning for a superior walking experience. A potential caveat is that the laceless, Stretch Fit® upper may not provide the same locked-in feel as traditional lace-up shoes for very high-intensity activities. Key features include the innovative Heel Pillow®, breathable Stretch Fit® knit upper, responsive ULTRA GO® cushioning, and supportive Ultra Pillars®.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Skechers GO WALK 8 Nova trainers are designed primarily for walking and casual comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and lockdown required for intense running activities.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The Stretch Fit® knit upper is breathable but not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not recommended for heavy rain or very wet conditions as they can absorb water.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The Stretch Fit® upper offers some flexibility. Your heel should feel secure with the Heel Pillow®, and your toes should have room to move comfortably. If you are between sizes, consider your preference for a snugger or looser fit.
What is the difference between GO WALK 8 and other GO WALK models?
The GO WALK 8 series typically features updated cushioning technology like ULTRA GO® and enhanced support features such as Ultra Pillars®, along with the signature comfort Skechers is known for. Specific models like the Nova often include the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature.
How durable is the ULTRA GO® cushioning?
ULTRA GO® cushioning is designed for durability and responsiveness, providing long-lasting comfort for daily wear. However, like all cushioning, its effectiveness can diminish with prolonged, heavy use.
Is the vegan material suitable for daily wear?
Yes, these trainers are made with vegan materials and are designed for durability and comfort in everyday situations. The construction is suitable for regular use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Due to the Stretch Fit® upper and laceless design, fit can vary. If too loose, consider adding an insole for a snugger feel. If too tight, ensure you have the correct size; the knit may stretch slightly over time but is not adjustable like laces.
Discomfort in the heel.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cradling your heel. If discomfort persists, double-check that the shoe size is correct and that your sock choice is not causing friction.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness.
Over time, cushioning can compress. Gently clean the insoles and midsole as per care instructions. For significant wear, consider a replacement insole.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Use the designated heel tab to assist. Ensure your foot is entering at the correct angle. The Heel Pillow® may require a brief break-in period to mold to your foot shape.
